Millennium Greens cover a wide range of on the ground usages.  Same
are clearly gardens, some parks, some nature reserves.  Please do not
retag these features to some perceived standard.  I would also avoid
overloading the designation key - better to have an explicit key than
to reuse and existing key.

About the only thing these area have in common is that they were all
funded as part of the same project, if you want capture this
information I would suggest something like:

millennium_green=yes

or how about:

funding_source=Millennium Green
