It reads "for example" above. My point in this message: Not all of them are auxiliary areas of highways.

I've always taken landuse=grass to mean any area, that 
grows grass, but where said area is not used for anything 
else, except for growing that grass, and which gets mowed
at least sometimes, to keep it from naturally becoming 
something else.

If it would be left unmaintained, it would turn into scrub, 
mud, or meadow, or similar. In a few years anyway.

If it would be used for leisure, it'd be (a part of a) leisure=park.

If it would be used for sport, it'd probably be leisure=pitch.
