How to tag a pull-up bar/ chin-up bar in a park? I have seen people using name = Pull Up Bars. Is that the best way to do it?

The name is the name only. Don't put any categories or descriptions into the name tag.

It seems like there is no established tagging scheme for a pull-up / chin-up bar yet, but according to taginfo there are already two objects tagged as sport=Chin-up. I suggest to use the same tag but in lowercase (sport=chin-up). And I suggest to correct the few wrongly tagged objects in your area, ideally contacting the author(s) and explaining why the previously used tag was wrong.

I agree using name=* is ugly.

My recommendation is to use sport=gymnastics (with 3143 tagged objects) as this is documented for Swiss Parcoursvita or leisure=fitness_station (with 1000+ tagged objects) which appears to be used in practice (e.g., here at the Vita Parcours Düdingen).

There is a little used tag fitness_station:type which could be used for chin-up, or they may fall into the man_made=* category, for instance man_made=chinup_bar.

Other likely associated tags which might be appropriate are a relation of type fitness_trail (as used for Vita parcours) or the poorly used leisure=outdoor_gym.
