How to tag picnic shelter with built-in toilets? (thelemmy.club)

I mapped a building with amenity=shelter and then added an amenity=toilets along one edge, but the toilets didn't render in the default view. I know we're not supposed to map for the renderer but it would be nice to tell folks there's a bathroom available.

Is there a good solution for this?

@DavidP I think it's correct, even though there are many valid ways for this I think. Maybe adding the toilets as a node in the building would make them more visible (and would be valid as well)? By the way maybe an "tourism=picnic_site" / "shelter_type=picnic_shelter" would be appropriate with the "amenity=shelter" too?

    Thanks all for the responses! What a great community.

    The photo I included in the original post was just an example of this type of common structure. I tried adding a separate toilet node within the building but it was only visible at the closest zoom level and the icon was smooshed too close to the shelter icon (in my opinion, anyway).

    Eh, there is more then just the OSM.org-view to show OSM data, don't worry about that.

    I prefer the toilets to be a different node, as one can then add many more attributes to it without needing a prefix.
