etc should I use in this specific case?

Hello! I'm rather new to OSM and I need a little help choosing the tags/type for a specific kind of path I'm having trouble categorizing. Here are the specifics:

These are paths within private garden allotments. But they're always open and non-members are allowed to walk through them.
A narrow gate at the entrance allows pedestrians and bicyclists access, but the gates are sometimes opened for cars if someone needs to bring something heavy to their garden.
Never seen snowmobiles, horses, or wheelchairs being used there.
Some paths are named and have signs like roads.
The surface type is mowed grass.
Example photos:

Region I'm working on.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Probably...

highway=track, bicycle=permissive, foot=permissive, motor_vehicle=private, surface=grass, name=(whatever the name is)

(you could make an argument for highway=footway instead, but the width seems to merit =track to me. There are some Maoists out there who will suggest highway=path)

Certainly these are tracks in UK allotments, always wide enough to allow a vehicle in, even if they are used rarely for that purpose. tracktype would also be a tag to condiers.
