on usage in the United States, it sure sounds like
leisure=park is the tag to use for what you are
describing. I see nothing in the wiki page [1] for park
that indicates it must be a minimum size, have a wall, a
discrete entrance or that it has to have a name. There
are a lot of areas local to me called parks, that are
tagged with leisure=park and which do not have
fences/walls/or gates. And some of the smaller ones
(colloquially called “mini-parks”) don’t seem to have
names either.</div>

Landuse is a tag that is not about what is there - trees, shrubs,
flowers, concrete etc ... but the USE of the area. <br>
<br>
A park is used for relaxation. <br>
A recreation_ground is used for recreation (physical activity). And
so on.<br>
<br>
While some parks may have a fence around them, some don't. <br>
There is no requirement for a park to have a fence nor should there
be - remember OSM is world wide .. what is common practice in one
part of the world may be exceptional in another part. <br>
<br>
landuse=village_green I take to be a 'common' in Australia as that
too has legal status in Australia similar to 'village_green' in the
UK. <br>
<br>
If the USE of the area fits well with any current tag .. then use
that tag. <br>
Physical objects, like fences, have other tags that can be used to
indicate their presence. <br>
