Hi SolidCuban and welcome to OSM!

Some hint to help you with your future mapping:

-A house and its private yard is not a park, please do not add parks and other fictional elements over houses. We define parks in a particular way on OSM, and you can read more here:
leisure=park

-You can square up buildings in the iD editor by pressing "q" on your keyboard - this can help you make the buildings more accurate.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Hi Offenstein,

Welcome back to OSM!

You've mapped way/923407904 as water, but looking at Bing Imagery (which seems to be the highest quality here), it appears to be a tarp over the roof on a shed/garage?

Please also keep in mind that the correct tag for a swimming pool is leisure=swimming_pool, not natural=water. Private pools should also be marked as such.

leisure=swimming_pool

No worries, I have removed the duplicate for you.

Hiya cprimack,

A very similar nature reserve is already on the map - way/29693636

Are these the same thing?

Hi!

You have the N2Y Company on the map twice here - once as a building covering the entire plot (way/917878470) and once as a residential area (way/910025869)

I'm not sure if either tagging scheme is the most correct way to add this feature.

I have restored the woods tagging, and noticed that you have already removed the name.

Do you know the coordinates of the actual Dillon's Farm area? There is the farmyard here (way/138284774), but I'm not sure if it's the same thing... I can help you add it if you like.

As an aside, my wife is actually a descendant of the Dillon family. It's a small world :)

Hi lucanos

I think you might have changed the wrong thing here - you've set almost the entirety of Brisbane Water National Park as well as the bushland up to Central Mangrove as Dillon's Farm, and also as grassland - both of which are not correct.

Would you like some help fixing things up?

Hi again Mikey,
This is another odd one - a triangle with the name=1 Haunted Jailhouse and you've added a Wikipedia tag for a simulated ride.
Not sure what this is supposed to be?

Forgot to add the link, it's here: leisure=park

Hi Mickey,

You've added a very strange park here.

The following is the osm wiki page for parks:

I'm not sure how this location would meet the relevant definitions?

Additionally, you've added another tag Scary Ghosts=Haunted Ghosts to a node with the name "Ghosts". I'm not sure this would be considered verifiable or mappable.

Hi Kevev99,

It appears that Tanner Park is already on the map as an area, here: way/468561059

OSM normally operates on the idea of "One feature, one OSM element", so there's no need to duplicate a park as an area and a node at the same time.

osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element#:~:text=One%20feature%2C%20one%20OSM%20element%20is%20a%20good%20practice%20principle,with%20only%20one%20OSM%20element.

Hi superbeyone,

Welcome to OSM

You've added an oddly shaped and very large building with a railway connected to its corner.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to represent here?

Hi pokemon12922,

This park covered several houses, private yards and roads, please do not add fictional features to OSM.

If you'd like some help adding real parks, please feel free to reach out :)

Welcome to OSM!

Unfortunately, Niantic hasn't updated anything to do with their usage of OSM in Pokemon GO for about 2 years now.

I'm sure you understand that we can't leave fictional parks on the map, as many other services also use OSM, including some emergency services.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Hi Ben1511,
Welcome to OSM!
I'm curious as to what are you trying to do here?
You've got two parks intersecting each other, as well as covering a fire department and passing through roads.
Would you like some help?

Hi AmateurPlanner!

It looks like this park is already on the map as an area, here: way/897718999

Were you trying to add something specific to the park?

Thank you!

Hi 4howards,

You have a lot of the built-up areas around this golf course marked as water hazards: way/901847548

That doesn't seem very correct?

Hi GREGMAP1,
You added this: way/902796641 as a park, but it appears to be a building. Possible slip of the finger on that one?

Hiya Petomas,

I know it sounds a bit counter-intuitive due to the name (sno-park) but I'm not sure if leisure=park imparts the right meaning here.

I might suggest something like
landuse=winter_sports instead?
(landuse=winter_sports)

If there's also many kilometers of this area, it's probably best to include the entire area than just using the parking lot as a proxy.

A lot of this comes down to verifiability (osm.wiki/Good_practice), especially outside of the snow season.

It might be a good idea to reach out to local mappers to discuss, the OSM mailing lists are a good place to start: https://lists.openstreetmap.org but there may also be other local services you can use to find follow local mappers :)
