isn't it the function as a park,</pre>

<pre>You now talk of what it could be used for i.e. the function of an object. </pre>

in osm it is a key that describes objects, like swimming pools for instance, or football pitches.</pre>

<pre>It describes the function of those objects .. leisure is not an object itself.
Oxford Dictionary definition leisure = <span class="definition">Use of free time for enjoyment<a class="w translation" href="http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/enjoyment#enjoyment__2" title="Meaning of enjoyment"></a></span>
OSM definition leisure = places people go in their spare time...
So the OSM definition takes a function and makes it an object... but to an English speaker leisure is not an object.
Hence the confusion. OSM redefines things .. an apple becomes an orange.
