I disagree. Going by that definition, my front yard would be leisure:playground. I believe the tag should be used for "a place designated as an area for children to play". Also, just because someone puts a swing set in their back yard, shouldn't mean their back yard should be tagged as a playground. On another note, there are places defined as “city parks” here that are no more than land that can't really be used for anything. For instance, a lot in a subdivision that’s used for storm drainage is labeled as a nature park. It's due to the fact they planted native plants on the lot to attract wildlife. You would not know it's a "park" if you didn't read the small sign stating so. It just looks like an overgrown, unleveled lot. Aaron Forsythe
