I just added "Ventnor Cricket Ground" on the Isle of Wight, but didn't see any suitable classification for it. I classified it as "park" but I don't think that's quite right. Not sure if "sports ground" translates into American English, but I think it's reasonable for the British English usage.

I also suggest that each classification should also have a page where a definition of it is given.

Thanks

David

Hi David

There is feature code 'Athletic field' : a tract of land used for playing team sports, and athletic track and field events.

This page has a short definition for all feature codes :

I don't know much about cricket. Does the feature code description someow cover the idea of a 'cricket ground' ?

Cheers

Thanks, that describes a cricket ground very well. I just didn't scan the list hard enough. I'll update the entry.

Thanks for your help, and a very useful service.
