Were you guys serious about this? A pitch has: - defined boundaries - a special playing surface - lines and other markings It's used by multiple people playing a competitive sport. The sport always takes place *inside* the pitch. A fishing platform has none of these characteristics. Even if it was used strictly for sports fishing, it would be a stretch.

In this case it's a designated/dedicated fishing platform, while it might be useful to tag fishing spots that you can legally fish from, but this is something a little different. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Wiki suggests that a pitch is any sort of playing field. Infact doesnt even suggest football/cricket (although does have soccer). Suggestions are tennis, skate park, basketball, etc. I think pitch=fishing could possibly be used here, although there are also fishing=yes and leisure=fishing tags, which might be more appropriate.

A fishing platform near the Pine River channel. The platform measures 10 m by 50 m." Taking a closer look, I can see the track descends onto an area which is mapped as: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59339147 * bridge: yes * layer: 1 * man_made: pier What about adding to those tags * leisure: pitch * sport: fishing * name: Fishing Platform Regards, Simon. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
