The whole area isn't a park so don't tag it as such. It is an area covered by a funding program / financial trust. > Perhaps the landuse tag can be used. The main issue here is that the area is Please do not reuse existing tags (designation, landuse, whatever) to mean something new. Create a new tag that is explicit. Reusing an existing tag causes huge problems for data users.

As Ed has said this probably isn't appropriate although it would seem closer. How about boundary=millennium_green ? Please - use a new tag. Don't try to twist an existing tag. Adding a new tag is not a bad thing - create it and document what you have done to the wiki. -- Brian _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
