<div>if these are significant open areas that are used for
recreation and to meet each other, it seems improbable that
they do not have names. Can you back your claim with real
world examples?</div>

<p>place=square exists within the place=* hierarchy which , as
documented in <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place</a>,
is used to characterize named locations. What we tag here is
almost always unnamed.</p>
<p>Our goal is to record the nature of that space - and most
importantly its functionality as a common free space.<br>

<p>Note the statement "What we tag here is almost always unnamed."
Fairly clear to me. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I also would not say 'used for recreation' as that may not be
true in all situations. <br>
