Not bad. But what makes that area of grass a "path" as opposed to just
an area of grass you can walk on (e.g. landuse=meadow or something +
foot=yes)? Is there a difference?

I tend to think "paths" should be limited to elongated areas, designed
for or used typically for travel (other than for large vehicles like
cars), with usually a constant or slowly varying width. There's
probably a better definition though.
