Why doesn't the term "park" describe that?  In your other message you
mention "the island in the middle of a group of houses".  I can see not
calling that a "park", as it's really more of a "courtyard".  But the link
you give shows an area which isn't enclosed by houses, but only has
buildings bordering it on one side.  I'd have no problem calling that a
"park".

Here's a not particularly good photo of it (not mine!).
