Tag:leisure=pitch - Other languages
The tag leisure=pitch is used to map a
pitch: an area designed for practising a particular sport, normally designated with appropriate markings. Examples include tennis courts, basketball courts, ball parks, and riding arenas.
Pitches may be contained within a larger landuse=recreation_ground, leisure=park, leisure=sports_centre, leisure=horse_riding or specific sports field (see the discussion/talk page for discussion on how to tag a larger sports field). A facility with seating for large numbers of spectators should be tagged with leisure=stadium retaining leisure=pitch for the playing surface itself. A golf course should be tagged as leisure=golf_course rather than as a pitch.
How to map
- If there is some physical outline of the pitch or painted line markings, draw an
area around it and add leisure=pitch and proper sport=* tag.
- If a pitch has no clear landcover outline, draw a
node in its middle, then add leisure=pitch and the proper sport=* tag.
- If a pitch is not in use anymore, its state can be described with the Lifecycle prefix, e.g. disused:leisure=pitch if it is currently not ready to be used, but could be reinstated easily; or abandoned:leisure=pitch when it cannot be used without extensive repairs, etc.

The following diagrams can help you identify the sport=* based on aerial imagery. Standard dimensions are shown in some diagrams, but a pitch does not need to be regulation to be tagged with sport=*.
