Building quest and sport halls

[HolgerJeromin]

The building quest is really nice, but what should i select for a tennis sport building?

A normal school sports hall could be tagged as school, but the others?

The only sport tag "Stadium" (stadion in german) seems wrong...

A normal school sports hall could be tagged as school

Not sure about that.

But anyway, is there a tag for that?

[HolgerJeromin]

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/building=sports_hall
is not the top most building=*sport* tag but the only one with a wiki page

[matkoniecz]

I created note and later used building=sports_centre, but building=sports_hall seems equally fine for me (with balance tipped by wiki page for building=sports_hall).

[westnordost]

Hmm, actually I would prefer sports_centre, because it is much more generic. A building used for sports is not always a hall like it is often used in schools. Without a wiki definition, I can of course only assume, but it reads like that tag would also include:

• building built for fitness centres
• dojos, dance school buildings
• bowling centres
• big sports centres (offering a wide range of different sports)
• sport club buildings (de:Vereinsheim)

Perhaps someone could do some research on how sports_centre is used and document it?

[HolgerJeromin]

I used sports_centre in the past, too. So i was surprised about the sports_hall tag.

Regarding sport club buildings I don't know if they should be under the sports_centre category. Think you should be able to practice some sport there. For amenities sport club buildings are tagged amenity=community_centre, community_centre=club_home. Think the logic should be the same for the building. In that case maybe it would be better to add something like building=community_centre.

In Sweden the few building=sports_centre are swimming halls/small sports halls.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building%3Dsports_centre is up

Does the building type "sports centre" need a description? If yes, what should it be?

[matkoniecz]

I would expect it to be self-explanatory and I have no good idea for a short description.

[HolgerJeromin]

1. "All buildings forming a sport centre including showers, changing rooms and halls for pitches."
2. "All buildings defining a sport centre including showers, changing rooms and halls for pitches."
3. "All buildings supporting a sport centre including showers, changing rooms and halls for pitches."

[westnordost]

All three are much too long

[HolgerJeromin]

Sports_centre should be tagged even for swimming buildings. I am not sure if the volleyball works in that case
