This isn't really a footway. There's grass to sit on, trees, benches, a fountain, etc. People hang out here to read books, etc.

there is also advice to use place=square to mark a plaza, which perhaps may fit better.
not sure about rendering though. -
Comment from Adamant1
Oh yeah, I originally tagged it as footway=sqaure. That must of been before I knew about place=square. I'm down for changing it. As freebeer says though, who knows about rendering. The question is if its worth it. I don't think place=square renders without the highway=footway tag being involved, but I guess that's the price we pay for proper tagging sometimes.
I think the main reason the person brought it up though was to insinuate that it should be turned back into a park. The problem with that for me though is that A. its called a plaza B. most of it is cement and the grassy areas are secondary. Not everywhere with some grass automatically becomes a park. There's more grass further south, but it doesn't seem to be part of the plaza for some reason. Otherwise, that might even it out enough to warrant the park tag, but probably not. -

I think the "plaza" part of the name is more about the performance/gathering space at the corner of the Fillmore & O'Farrell where music happens on the weekends, etc. The inside feels like the many mini-parks around the city with the big waterfall/fountain, grass, tables, benches, etc to me. You see people reading or eating lunch or relaxing on the grass if you wander through during the day.
That's my take on it anyway.

E.g. http://sfrecpark.org/destination/fillmore-turk-mini-park/ & http://sfrecpark.org/destination/golden-gate-steiner-mini-park/ are just a few blocks away
