natural=sand should really be used for natural sand, not artificial application of sand (think golf=bunker). It's not uncommon to be used incorrectly because people want to see it show up on Carto, but that's not the right way to do it.

This looks cool, but it's not accurate. It's not natural=sand. See the bottom of Mapping Caveats: natural=sand#Mapping_caveats

Why? The node was in the center of the region, and now it's close to the eastern edge.

Whoops, I misread OSMCha and thought you were *adding* access=private.

Hey, most people hate tracing buildings. I've done a lot where Philly imagery bled over, but the quality is so bad on the public MontCo that it's definitely a pain.

Just a note about driveways: if they're marked private, that can sometimes cause issues for delivery drivers. Generally, routers consider driveway as basically private, but they're still a way that you'd want to route to if you're going to someone's house.
`access=destination` solves these issues. It's extremely helpful especially on driveway that connect at two points to the main roadway, because routers will try to use those to make a u-turn to reroute.

If you know what's off limits, would you be able to add access=private or access=no tags to those ways?

Is this not private?

Heck, that's a lot of nodes. At that size, I think you would be fine with about 12?

Alright, sorry for not commenting back till now. I agree that a lot of the sections aren't "park"; I added them in reference to MontCo parks boundaries, but that doesn't seem to transfer 1:1 to OSM in this case. I have been through here in person, but it's been a little while, and I didn't explore the park area too closely.
What should the other sections be tagged as? And if you're more familiar with the area, feel free to change it.

I added a tag for name pronunciation to the Schuylkill River relation. The changeset covers the whole river.

If it's already closed, you can leave the node here and change "amenity=restaurant" to "was:amenity=restaurant". I would then delete the name, phone, website, and hours if it's no longer that business (you could do "was:name"). Anyone who wants more info can look at the history of the node.

Looks great!

My bad, I thought that building on satellite was the new one...

Hi there,

Sorry for the edits contrary to local convention. Are you comfortable retagging these, or should I take a look and try to fix it?

I'm not currently editing in Cleveland, but I have family from the area, so if I'm ever mapping back in the area, I'll keep this in mind.

I adjusted the boundary to match the official park boundary per MontCo's parcels. I looked at the parcel map and it seems that the weirdness along the west side is due to the Pennypack Trail still being in a parcel of a railroad right-of-way, so the park fills some of that in, but isn't officially in that area.

Thanks for catching that! It's a Linux command to show a list of peripherals to a computer. I'm not sure how it got transferred into here...

166413778

I'm sorry, I must have mistaken this for a different one I took recently. I have taken this trail before, but I think it may have been last summer...

Apologies for my impulsive revert and comment.

166413778

This isn't closed, I walked the length of it 22 days ago, and it's certainly not blocked. That's why I added it.

165617154

I'm not familiar with the source you used, but I'm not sure it's copyright-legal to copy information from it. Same with Parkopedia on another of your changesets.

163964664

That's an error artifact from me keeping track of progress. I will fix that.
