This "deprecation" is bogus. A decision was made by openstreetmap-carto
maintainers to drop the tag from rendering
(https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/3619) bzt
openstreetmap-carto does not get do deprecate OSM tags. The edit marking
this tag as deprecated in the Wiki by user Russss
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag%3Aleisure%3Dcommon&type=revision&diff=1829208&oldid=1805106)
was not justified and should be reverted.

You're free to continue using and rendering that tag; of course the
reasons that led to osm-carto stopping to render it should perhaps be
studied and discussed.
