Reverted this. Second time. That Sollers Point Road property is NOT a park. It is an unnamed recreation_ground. Recreation grounds by definition can be on school property but are not parks. The word "recreation" is also in the Department of Recreation & Parks' name. They administer both items. Just being a joint BoE and RnP site does not make something a park.

Agreed here. Let's keep an eye on this user. I'm an experienced mapper in the area and have seen some dubious edits. There's a thread on OSMUS slack with more. I reached out politely on a few of the edits already.

Gabriel, glad to have you doing some high-detail mapping in Baltimore County. I made some tweaks to this changeset and others nearby based on many years of OSM editing and my work with Baltimore County. The landuse areas you've added as parks are not parks. We do not consider something a park in OSM unless the legal description of the property (the parcel) is publicly owned and designated as a park. You can tag landuses as natural things like woods or meadow if you'd like. I also removed a bunch of spurious points that are duplicates of other features. On OSM we have a rule about one thing on the planet = one thing in OSM. We don't map the same stuff multiple times. The fields and what not at Peachblossom should be mapped as their pitch types, not as parks.

Hello there and welcome to OSM. I see you've added some relations for the trail park. On OSM we have a rule of one feature per one real world thing. However, here you've got two relations. Additionally, many of them overlap with out features. The boundaries should not overlap with other places or be connected to roads. This is fairly advanced work. Could you tell me the difference between the Wakefield Valley Trail and the other trails open to the public at the old golf course? I will help fix this up for you. Thanks!

another comment on the trails. In order for these to be useful for routing, they must connect to another road. Please be sure to connect the path to an adjacent road.

nice work on the trail mapping around Bel Air! I encourage you to use the non-specific highway=path tag for paths unless they're only for walking. It's not possibly to know if bikes are prohibited without going in person, so generally I recommend the path tag for new trails. Then, after doing some survey, add the bike=yes/no, horse=yes/no, etc. This helps routing services send bike routing down paths unless bikes are specifically banned.

Looks good. You're spot on about the fence ending there and that's fine as is. I connected the eastern end to the adjacent road in front of 4001 so that a routing tool could send users down that path. I also added some other connecting paths yesterday. Above all (i.e. regardless of the path type) make sure paths connect to other roads for route-ability. Keep up the good work!

Interesting area here. Is there any connection between Bay Drive and the park? How about on the other side? For routing purposes, be sure to connect a path to a nearby road. Also, the footway tag implies bikes and other modes are prohibited. If there's no specific bike/horse/ski/etc. sign then use highway=path instead. Generally I'll use highway=path for any path except sidewalks and narrow paved walking paths.

Hey there and Welcome to the OSM community (if no one has reached out yet). I see you've been doing a lot of park mapping in the Baltimore region, something I do a lot of, too. Thanks for all the hard work!

Hey, I saw this one in person. I love that you guys are adding them to OSM. Bravo!!

I forgot to mention that I put the Magnolia town boundary into a relation in this changeset

Hello! Welcome to the OSM project and thanks for this edit. When mapping paths, make sure to connect them to other features, that way computer routing systems can make the connections. If you have time, log back in and draw a connecting path from Central Park to the road.

Mostly out of curiosity, what data file are you using for the parks here?

nice work mapping parks around Maryland. I see you've been doing a lot of them.

What river misuse?
