Hi, I removed way/1298676047 in changeset/173253101

If the only reason to tag this place leisure=park is for consistency with other Westchester-managed parks... that's not great.

I mentioned a couple of wilderness parks I'd left as leisure=park. If I'd had the itch to reclassify them, I'd 1) consult the current documentation 2) try to get a local consensus from other mappers -- especially the ones who'd done the original tagging, if still active. That's how a cooperative project like this should work. (Obviously it's different when the tagging's clearly incorrect -- if these had been tagged as zoos, for instance.)

Thanks for the trail data improvements!

There are indeed regional variations in mapping style, & I bet leisure=park is in use for dozens, maybe hundreds of places like this in NYS -- it's an older tag, so that wouldn't be too surprising. I can think of a couple nearby I edited this year (Cheesecote Mountain Park way/406448162 and High Tor State Park way/435087846) that I found tagged as leisure=park & left them that way... because generally I am a "let's leave it as-is" kind of mapper, more concerned with the trails and boundaries than the tagging.

But matthewfecica, you did not "leave it as-is" -- per the changeset comment, you "corrected feature type"! So if you believe leisure=park is a better tag for Cranberry Lake Preserve, please explain why.
