Somebody is doing some nice mapping around Sherbrooke!

I like the current rendering of the multi-use fields.  I understood
the combinations immediately.

The current fields are tagged as
leisure=playground
sport=soccer

I've seen others use
leisure=pitch
sport=soccer   # or football / baseball / cricket / etc.

"pitch" in this context is the British-English term for sport field.
I've used "playground" for swingset, climbing gym, slide, etc.

None of this addresses your proposal.  The challenge of two uses in
one place, at different times, is interesting.
