OpenStreetMap
In honor of the Music Midtown festival held over the weekend, I decided to focus my attention on updating Atlanta’s historic Piedmont Park, as they’ve renovated a lot in the last 2 years or so. Also, I added the new Historic Fourth Ward Park along the Atlanta Beltline project as well. The park is interesting, because they’ve made a “pond” and park out of an urban water retention pond. The park has lots of curvy sidewalks and retaining walls, which were fund to digitize. The whole process would have been easier if the highest resolution Bing Imagery had been from after the park construction instead of before the construction, but oh well!
Since I’m still earning my OSM chops, please take a look at these edits and let me know if you have any suggestions to my topology/tagging/digitizing. Any comments will be taken constructively.

Hello, Had time to look at your work, Very Good, yes a shame the 2011 bing doesn’t zoom in.
I see you’ve made a multipolygon for the park area as a whole. If you now add all the inner areas to the outer multipolygon you’ll find it renders a lot better Also it’s easier to see the different areas in JOSM, At the moment in JOSM if the outer area is clicked/highlighted the whole park gets shaded in a colour including all inner areas and is rendered such. I’ve done one of the lower pitches so you can see the differences. Some areas will have to be nested multipolygons.
