I've reached out directly and began conversations with Dan after reading this
article. Good to hear from Alan too.
My view on the way forward in this particular situation.
* Decide on reasonable tagging. Agree that some use of "access" seems most
appropriate (maybe access=social?)* Get Caliparks rendering recognizing this
tagging* Make the switch on OSM from social_path* Discuss how to better
represent these on main OSM rendering, and other rendering. They should be
rendered, but look different from official trails.
Beyond this, there's a huge opportunity and lots of interesting issues
regarding mapping in parks. Imagine a single map of every park in the US, or in
the world. There's a lot to get into about how park managers and the public see
parks, park data and park maps. Think OSM is the best place to do it!

I oppose the use of highway=social_path. There are better ways to
accomplish the same thing without breaking existing applications.
