IMHO all castle gardens, as I wrote above.
this one probably is inside "recreation_ground"

this one

of course, if you declare that every garden is a recreation_ground it
will be the case, but IMHO the recreation_ground definition somehow
excludes gardens:
"An open green space for general recreation, which may include
pitches, nets and so on, usually municipal but possibly also private
to colleges or companies. "

I see this more as a sports thing, gardens will generally not be "open
green spaces", as "open space" IMHO is about unblocked, open spacial
structure, while gardens tend to enclose and restrict space.
