Let's Map the Healthy Spot in OSM (Pitch, Outdoor Gym, Calisthenics Park, Etc)
Posted by Akrimullah on 22 January 2020 in English.Hy everyone, I just wanna share my experience on how I really need the spatial data in OSM or other Map Platform. Basically, it began when I was on a trip to the overseas and wanna find an outdoor park that has some pull-up bar so I can start my workout morning routine. It really hard to find a single spot like this one in my map application. I decided to walk outside and found some pretty good spot to begin my workout but unfortunately it for private access for the apartment. I believe there are so many people out there like me, struggling to find a good spot for workout whether they are in their home neighbourhood or in the new area that they never visited before. with the power of OSM, I already start mapping some of this healthy spot since last month in Malaysia and Indonesia. Mostly the objects I mapped are pitch and some outdoor park that I know there are some sports tools that can be used. Here my idea of what object we could map in OSM related with healthy spot :
- Pitch (Soccer, Tennis, Volley, etc)
- Public Amusement Park (Usually has some nice outdoor gym)
- Indoor Gym/Fitness Station (Add additional information on a hotel, campus or private building that has indoor Gym)
- Swimming Pool
- and many more in OSM sport/fitness-related tag
I use #healthyspotmapping as the hashtag when uploading my changeset. Hopefully, it will help everyone to catchup their fitness by knowing the good place to do a workout.

Chances are high that those spots have an external heart defibrillator. Do not forget those when they are indoor=no.

Hi philippec, thank you for the information. Maybe something like that does exist in a developed country. currently, while mapping the healthy spot, I still figuring out some tag combinations for some health-related tags in OSM.

I mean sport-related tags :)
