Thanks all for these ideas. The path is marked as shared, but only in the middle of the park <https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.5448007,-0.2770366,3a,75y,51.5h,82.26t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s0-5dFjAe4D0GCEHPfxmw1A!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo0.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D0-5dFjAe4D0GCEHPfxmw1A%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D174.08063%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656> - it's a bit odd. (It's even on a cross-city cycle route.)
It's the actual highway=* tag that I was most puzzled over, but it sounds like with the access tags this is academic for routing purposes. In which case it would seem the 'looks like a footway, rides like a footway' criterion would be best? Not relevant here, but like Tony I also would love a tag that means 'everyone cycles here, even if it's technically illegal'. I think it was SK53 who suggested some use 'tolerated', which seems pretty good to me.
