Mapping parks

- You might possibly mark a very small park with a node, but even for small parks it is more useful to draw in an area.

Footpaths (highway=footway ways) leading into a park from a road, should always be connected to the road for routing purposes. It's debatable whether they should connect to the park area with a shared node, or cross over the polygon without connecting. TODO discuss

Note: Lakes and forests in/around a park belongs to it, so don't use a multipolygon to exclude them!

National Parks

The normal view of a park is a green area within a town or cities. Parks in rural locations (e.g. areas named "National parks") are a totally different kind of thing. leisure=nature_reserve and boundary=national_park could be used, and not this leisure=park tag. example. There is also this proposal: boundary=protected_area.
