A recreation ground can have cricket nets so that can be tagged 
landuse=recreation_ground, sport=cricket_nets;soccer;cricket etc..

Again sport=soccer implies a rectangular playing field with goals at 
either end - that is physical infrastructure. Without the playing field 
and goals there cannot be a game of soccer...

The sport ping pong implies physical infrastructure of a table with a 
net, tennis implies a rectangular court with a net ... many sports imply 
a physical infrastructure...
