Have you compared Google's and OSM's maps of those locations side by side? I wager OSM has much more detail. This is the case even for public parks located in the middle of major American west coast cities (where I would expect Google to have good coverage, if they had it anywhere.)
Consider for instance this city park in Seattle:

Google has gotten better in recent years, it now has a few of the walking trails, but compared to OSM it's still absolutely pitiful. Even in high profile locations like Yellowstone National Park, Google Maps is pitiful compared to OSM:

- askbjoernhansen 7y agoApple Maps seems to have comparable detail to OSM for that location ... https://maps.apple.com/?ll=44.39273,-110.55472&spn=0.003043,0.006653&t=m https://maps.apple.com/?ll=44.39273,-110.55472&spn=0.003043,... Or what do you see that the rest of us don't? :-)
