Hi all, Just to drag this back up - I encountered an unmapped showground (Chipping, Lancashire) whilst adding PROWs and don't know the best way to tag. It appears to hold a several large shows each year (well presumably not this year!) but doesn't appear to be a recreational site.
I found this abandoned proposal for amenity=show_grounds: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/show_grounds It's a shame it never got traction as it might enable us to come to some consensus on these sites. Can an abandoned proposal be re-opened or does it have to be re-proposed? Cheers. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Townsend <ajt1...@gmail.com> Sent: 25 February 2020 00:23 To: talk-gb@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [Talk-GB] Tagging showgrounds Since I was going through these anyway to see what ought to be rendered at map.atownsend.org.uk, I thought I might as well list them here too. These are things "tagged a bit like showgrounds, excluding bus stops and car parks", sorted by one of the main tags. I suspect that the ones tagged just "place", "landuse=grass" or "tourism=attraction" only probably need some other tag to say "this is a showground". "events_venue" might be a misunderstanding of what that tag was for. "recreation_ground" may be correct in some cases but I suspect isn't in many others. "park" I'd be similarly surprised if it was often correct. In most or all cases it probably needs a local to make the call, though... place: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2382298440 name Mannsfield Showground place locality source OS OpenData StreetView
