Thanks all for these ideas. The path is marked as shared, but only in the
middle of the park

- 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.
