And yes, a training centre for astronauts would be entirely appropriate (but there aren't many of them). amenity=training + training=astronaut seems very precise to me. As does amenity=training + training = cycling. And amenity=training + training=dance. And amenity=training + training=equestrian. Better than squeezing them all under leisure or education, which are already hopelessly broad. I really dislike leisure=* for it, as somebody suggested. It's not a leisure activity. "What shall we do this weekend? The park? The cinema? Play football? No, let's learn to cycle. Again." It really doesn't fit leisure. You might revisit a leisure facility many times but you only learn to cycle once. It could come under education, but that's a bit square peg/round hole. To my mind, training involves motor skills/muscle memory to a significant degree. There may be some memory/cognition skills involved (when you learn to ride a bike you need to understand your local highway rules) but a large part of it is learning not to fall off the bike. Yes, there are grey areas. There always are. You live with that and choose either training or education as seems most appropriate. Unlike the abandoned proposal, I don't think a driving school counts, not when it's just a fancy name for the office where the instructor does paperwork. Not even if it has a classroom where they teach highway rules (that's education, not training). But if it had a room with a full simulator in it (mock-up of a car with controls and virtual reality display) then that would count as a training.facility. > In changeset discussion amenity=traffic_park was proposed, that I like but > I suspect that it is a neologism. > Not just a neologism, but a confusing one. Sounds like a posh car park to me. With the emphasis on the traffic (whatever it is) being parked. Which doesn't fit the cycle training situation. -- Paul
