Proposal

Provide a way to map small sport related features.

Rationale

This is relevant when micromapping since there does currently not exists a tagging scheme for individual sport-related features on a pitch. Furthermore, such a scheme is useful when the pitch is not in use anymore and in a bad condition but some of the features such as basketball hoops and soccer goals are still there.

Tagging

Tagging Proposal

man_made=sport_feature + sport_feature=*

When possible, i.e. when the sport is unambiguously, sport=* should be added.

Additionally, for a lot of features direction=* provides extra value.

Currently in use

The currently in use leisure=pitch + sport=basketball + hoops=* allows for specifying the amount of hoops a pitch has, but not for the location of these hoops. Furthermore, according to leisure=pitch a hoop without a pitch currently must be tagged leisure=pitch + sport=basketball on a node which is ambiguous.

According to TagInfo the tag man_made=soccer_goal is currently used 16 times. This is not a uniform solution since that would flood man_made with values such as soccer_goal, basketball_hoop, hockey_goal,...

Tagging examples

Basketball hoop

man_made=sport_feature + sport_feature=hoop + sport=basketball

Soccer goal

man_made=sport_feature + sport_feature=goal + sport=soccer + direction=E

Multipurpose goal

man_made=sport_feature + sport_feature=goal

Tennis net

man_made=sport_feature + sport_feature=net + sport=tennis

Long jump sand pit

man_made=sport_feature + sport_feature=pit + sport=long_jump + surface=sand

Applies to

  • Nodes node
  • Ways way
  • Areas area

Features/Pages affected

  • The pitch page says that a hoop without a pitch should be tagged leisure=pitch.
  • The page of sport lists all values for this key and states that most of them should only be tagged on Nodes node or Areas area. This conflicts with real life features such as tennis nets or soccer goals which can be represented with a way way.
  • On the page of long jump an specific scheme for long jump features is suggested.
