isn't it the function as a park,

You now talk of what it could be used for i.e. the function of an object.

  that lets you do sports or leisure activities? When the same physical stuff 
(lawn, trees, lake etc) was in a garden you might not be able to use it this way

A park too maybe configured not to allow sports or leisure activities.


Leisure is not an object but an action/function.

in osm it is a key that describes objects, like swimming pools for instance, or 
football pitches.

It describes the function of those objects .. leisure is not an object itself.

Oxford Dictionary definition leisure =Use of free time for enjoyment<http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/enjoyment#enjoyment__2>

OSM definition leisure = places people go in their spare time...
So the OSM definition takes a function and makes it an object... but to an English speaker leisure is not an object.
Hence the confusion. OSM redefines things .. an apple becomes an orange.
