Hi Steve,
Just wondering about the leisure=park tag on here - I'm not convinced that it really is a "leisure=park" in the laid-out-parkland sense that's described at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure=park . I'll admit it's a few years since I've been here, but I'd be surprised if it's changed that much.
Hope you don't mind me mentioning this - just trying to understand how things are tagged as they are.
Best Regards,
Andy -

It's a good question, Andy, and it's nice to text with you in near real-time (I am a fan of your edits, you are dedicated!).
What you are asking is at an edge of history in OSM as a project: in this part of California circa 2008-2010, this is how large parks were imported into this part of California. OSM community was early (though effective) and the structure of it has grown much, as well as movement forward to "standardize" on "how to do parks."
As this (the semantics of "leisure=park" in OSM) truly is fluid, and you are correct to nail it down in our wiki. However, nothing in that wiki directly contradicts what we do here. So if you're asking for a history lesson of "how things have gotten tagged around here," there is one, I know some of it w.r.t. this park, and there is an explanation for it. I know there are newer ways of doing things, the situation remains a bit fluid.
In short, this IS a park, we truly must make our wiki's semantic definition elastic enough to include this county park. Joseph Grant Park as it is now tagged in OSM meets that test. Might we agree there?
If you have more accurate or higher precision or both data, of course, bring 'em on and upload!
Is there a different tagging you prefer? OK, protected_area is getting to be all the rage for certain things, yes, I agree, and yet, JGP is a park. Right?
Again, great to make your acquaintance,
Steve
