It means instead: This is a place that has been established as a place to play, and is maintained in such a way that such activities are reasonable. It is more or less open to the public (or perhaps associated with a school or other facility, or gated community, etc. for exclusive use of their people). It is almost certainly known as a playground or similar to those living in the area. That excludes play sets in back yards, and places where kids go in the woods in an ad hoc or against-the-rules manner. It does mean that leisure=playground access=private is going to happen, in gated community-ish places. But that's fine, I think. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
