Indeed, that’s why this is not a traditional village green - otherwise I would have used that tag ;-). This is an area of mixed land cover (wood and open field). It is not managed (or even owned) by the local authority and is in a semi-wild state. However, what has changed is its legal status. It is now legally a town green and so the public has a right to use this land for recreational purposes without hinderance from the land owner. It seemed like this was something I should update and record in OSM. Unfortunately it's now no longer rendering. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Wynne <mar...@templot.com> Sent: Friday, April 3, 2020 1:53 PM To: talk-gb@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [Talk-GB] Town Greens On 03/04/2020 13:40, nathan case wrote: > I ruled it out because, from the same wiki: > > "This tag is intended for (usually urban) parks with managed greenery" and > "parks not so designed and manicured, but rather left in a more wild and > natural state should not get this tag, instead, use another tag like > boundary=national_park" > But village greens and public open green spaces are normally managed, or at least mown, by the local authority.
