Changeset: 45621399
I have added a local park with footpaths and an car park to the map. The park added was already existing but not listed as one. i also placed footpaths were they are not listed (used for my morning jogs around the park and to enter the playground area).

Thanks for adding these details. You can connect the footpaths to the surrounding roads and then they are routable.
I'm not sure that I'd call this a park, rather a recreation ground. This is incidentally what Bradford council call it in their official data, and also give it the name Haworth Road Playground, with the area to the S of the road being Haworth Road Recreation Ground.

I have tried to get in touch with Bradford council to rectify this as this meets all the criteria and definitions of a park (it contains a basketball court, a football pitch, a playground and walking footpaths) more so than a recreation ground contains. At least the one named 'Heaton park' does , the other is debeatable. It has also been host to fun fairs over the years similar to other parks in Bradford (namely peel park and lister park). Why they haven't officially given it the park status yet is strange, as it has been considered one by the locals as long as I've lived here, which is a hell of a long time.

Thank you for the response anyway, I have made alterations to the previous changes. Please let me know if I have done them correctly and if I should make anymore.

Edit: I only connected one of the footpaths that circles around the park to the nearby road, the reason I didn't connect the two coming out from the playground is because it pushed the parks boundaries into the bus stop area. However if I should alter those aswell please let me know. Thank you.

OSM is very much about local input, something which looking at aerial images can't beat. And there certainly is a gradation between parks and recreation grounds anyway. So I'm very happy to defer to your knowledge here.
You can actually take the foopaths right to the main road. Dont actually worry that this is not in the park. It's what we call topological accuracy: it shows you can walk from the main road along the path into the park. When shown on the OSM map it's not noticeable because roads are drawn over paths.

Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate your trust on the matter. I have made further alterations to your specifications. I have also added additional footpaths to two locations (Haworth Road Recreation Ground and Greenwood Park) where they already exist. I also adjusted the Greenwood park boundaries to accommodate the footpath and in accordance to the actual size of the park. If the changes have not been made correctly or if any other changes need to be made please let me know
