I want to map a park in an urban area using a multi-polygon (relation). The question is which way should I use to meet community's best practice? I can choose...

Areas should usually be mapped using their own ways. Don't use unrelated ways as area boundaries, so no street or addr:interpolation ways. You should only share ways when they are actually closely related, so if the park boundary is a wall, you should re-use the way tagged as wall as (part of) the area boundary. answered 17 Mar '18, 18:55 Jochen Topf |
A couple of thoughts - one is that it's sometimes easier to understand a situation if you provide a link to it.
Another is that it might be helpful to map examples of the alternatives over on the dev site https://master.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/ . There's no rendering from that but people will be able to see what you mean by looking in an editor.
Good point! here is an example... https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=18/46.14306/-60.17191
