Does this location have a name?

Is this all considered part of Fraser Oval or does it have a different name?

Generally for locations like this, leisure=park is sufficient. Natural=grassland generally implies that the location is unmaintained (think the plains of Mongolia as an extreme example). If the whole park is covered in grass that workers or the community mow and look after, you can use surface=grass.

Hi! As this is a pitch, generally the accepted standard for marking its surface is via the surface key, so in this case surface=grass rather than landcover/landuse or other tags.

leisure=pitch

Hi!

In regards to the grassland you added here, it looks pretty well maintained rather than wild in the available imagery for this location, is it possible something like landuse=grass might be more appropriate?

Fantastic, thanks for checking :)

Hi Mark, I've added more detail to the area around this roundabout and I had to make some changes including splitting the exit and entry lanes. I'm not sure if I got the relation set up correctly as you had it or not, are you able to take a look if you have a moment? I'd really appreciate it, cheers :)

Hi JoMomminatorIsAMapper and welcome to OSM! Thanks for your additions to the map so far.

To help you out, I thought I should mention some little things I noticed in your changes. Nothing overly bad, but they're mistakes a lot of new mappers make.

1) Name= shouldn't be used for descriptions like "Shot Put Ring", as these can generally be achieved using other tagging (leisure=pitch+sport=[sport type]).

2) If you upgrade a feature that's already on the map from a single node/point to an area, you should normally merge in/remove the original point if it represents exactly the same thing you've just added. I tend to remove the tagging and use the old point to start drawing the new area, that way the history of the map is a little better preserved.

3) A lot of new mappers tend to add many unique features as leisure=park, even if they're not really parks. OSM defines parks in a specific way leisure=park?uselang=en . A fountain, for example probably shouldn't be tagged as a park. The OSM wiki is a great resource if you're not sure how to tag something.

Anyway, sorry to burden you with a wall of text. In general, your changes are really great :) Happy mapping!

Hi and welcome to OSM!

Thanks for your recent addition.

I've now fixed the error, but please be careful when moving things around on the map. You accidentally dragged the original node for Chase Park away from the park and left it in an incorrect location.

Hi!
There's already a pitch here called "Memorial Field" - is Whittemore Field the same feature?

Hi Chan2160 and welcome to OSM.

Some feedback regarding this edit:
1) If a simple road isn't split by an island or similar feature, there's no need to draw each lane as a separate road. Simply not setting the road as one way is generally the best practice.

2) You added an un-named park inside of the larger Tucker Ranch Recreation and Nature Complex area which is also tagged as a park - what were you trying to add?

Hi Kalamadae,

There's already a park at this location:
way/666702861#map=18/-33.32060/115.64592

Are you trying to map a different feature?

75967848 about 6 years ago

Hi bperry25, welcome to OSM :)

Regarding this changeset: you've added this park over a lot of houses and other features. In OSM, we define parks as per this page:
leisure=park?uselang=en

I reduced this park to the area I could see was obviously a park, but you might want to include other areas with your local knowledge (without the houses)

If you need any help, please let me know.

This shelter is already in a larger park, there's no need to tag this as a park as well :)

Hi dreamnevermore,

Welcome to OSM.

In your most recent changesets, you've incorrectly changed places to parks even if they're not (this university campus for example) and changed roads to footpaths...

OSM is a real world map used by real people for many reasons. Incorrect changesets waste everyone's time.

It looks like your mapping has been inspired by Pokemon GO, which is fine, but you need to only add real things in the correct way. Some of the changes you made here could even have a negative effect on the game in some circumstances.

A glacier inside a building... these beaches and cemeteries all over this university campus? You can't be serious...

Please do not add fictional features to OSM. I'm having to spend my night cleaning up your mess.

Clarkson University is already on the map, there is no need to duplicate additional unnamed university grounds inside of it.
