Not sure that it makes sense to tag a multi-hundred-acre area as a single contiguous sports pitch. And, while I'm not familiar with the current consensus around sport=motocross nor motorsports tagging more generally, I also question if it applies to this area at all. The primary designated use of trails & riding areas here is for ATVs, not specifically dirt bikes, and I wouldn't characterize the here as "enclosed off-road circuits."
More context from from PA DCNR: https://elibrary.dcnr.pa.gov/GetDocument?docId=1742752&DocName=Whiskey_springs_map_w_txtl_4_22_16geo.pdf

Sproul State Forest, PA: Should the Bloody Skillet ATV trails (and other DCNR operated designated ATV trail systems) be set to foot/bicycle/horse: no?
The ATV Riding page mentions "It is important to practice common courtesies when riding your ATV on a trail: ... Yield the right of way to bikes, horses, and hikers"
https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/Recreation/WhatToDo/ATVRiding/pages/default.aspx
The DCNR ATV policy does not mention anything for/against other users on ATV trail systems: https://elibrary.dcnr.pa.gov/GetDocument?docId=3454622&DocName=DCNR%20Final%20ATV%20Trail%20Policy%20-%20November%202020.pdf
Michaux mentions "Motorcycles and trailbikes are not permitted on all-terrain vehicle trails." but no mentions of hikers/horses, and it is unclear whether "trailbikes" are motorized off-road vehicles or human powered pedal bicycles (which would lead to bicycle: no). On other DCNR maps, non-motorized pedal bikes are referred to as "mountain biking" or "bike" in the map legend.
I asked a state park ranger about this and the ranger was not sure.

Tiadaghton State Forest, PA: OSM discourages the use of abbreviations in road/trail names. What is "Hol." short for in "Fred Hol. Tr."? Is it "Hollow"?
Name comes from DCNR map here: https://elibrary.dcnr.pa.gov/GetDocument?docId=1743167&DocName=Tiadaghton%20Public%20Use%20Map.pdf

add "Richard O. Rowlands Preserve at Aitkin Cave" in the correct location (may require ground survey if no mapper has the local knowledge). Refer to image: https://in.pinterest.com/pin/the-richard-o-rowlands-preserve-at-aitkin-cave-is-a-haven-for-bats--675610381591097209/

way/32672594/history has shop = farmers_market

shop=farmers_market ? What kind of shop, if any is here? Is it intentionally used instead of shop=farm and amenity=marketplace ? If yes, what is the difference? Should we document this shop value as distinct, valid and useful?
