What I would do with these is to separate the legal status from the physical and usage characteristics. First I would tag the legal status, using the designation=* tag (which was set up for such purposes) i.e. designation=town_green. Once that's done you can add whatever other tags you think best describe the actual land and the way it is used. That might be leisure=park, landuse=recreation_ground, or whatever, depending on the nature of the Town Green in question. By using two (or more tags) you can correctly capture the UK legal status, while also ensuring the area renders in an appropriate way based on it's on-the-ground characteristics. Hope that helps, Robert. > For those that are unfamiliar with a Town Green – it is, legally, the same as > a village green.
