This is OpenStreetMap, and is not a Pokemon map. Edits made with the purpose of attempting to influence that fantasy game are likely to be reverted, as OSM only maps things in the real world, accurately.
You have added a second poorly-drawn area over top of another area you edited, and here you have added a bunch of rubbish tags to it:
Tags
landuse recreation_ground
landuse_1 grass
landuse_2 park
landuse_3 meadow
leisure pitch
name Dubois park
A meadow is not found in a city. A sports pitch does not take up the entire irregular area. And so on.
Pokemon Go uses an over-a-year-old set of data, even though what may be displayed is up to six months old. Therefore all your efforts will be in vain and will change nothing.
By focusing on Pokemon editing, your edits will be viewed with suspicion.
(I will not tell you that what you have done makes it less likely for your stated goal to be reached.) -

Wow okay. No need to be a dick. I was trying to fix an issue. But you all can fuck off.

Hi iTz Jesse James! No one's trying to offend you here, we're just trying to protect the map against mappers who seem to be maliciously changing the map to affect their Pokemon Go game. That's not what OpenStreetMap is for, and if we're short when we give you feedback it's because there are lots of folks who are making destructive edits.

In this particular case, the overall area of the park should be labeled "Park". If there are parts inside of it that are other types, then they should be drawn separately.
Also, although it sounds like Niantic uses OSM for their maps, it's not clear *how* they use OSM for their maps. So we can't help you make your game work better – we're trying to keep our map correct.
