I think they are at least close to the village, if not within it, in the
UK and Australia.

Hm.. village_common still says village, where often these areas are no

As Kevin Kenny says.
The key 'landuse' is big misused for land covers.
And this predominately is because of the tag landuse=grass.
While this exists OSM can expect the key 'landuse' to be used
(misused) for land covers of all descriptions.
If the key 'landuse' is only used for the human use of the land -
free of any hint of the cover then there may be some hope of
resolving 'village_green'.
In Australia there is the 'village common' - land held for common
use, this might get away form the 'green' aspect of grass. The
rendering colour could also be closer to that of schools and
hospitals, again away from the colour green.

In Nederland there are many of village_green like areas, used for
community events, but without a formal status. I would support
tagging these as village_green. Larger cities tend to have
several of these areas, often because villages have been
incorporated but the central area has retained its function as
"village green" in the neighourhood. Let's join the countries
that already do this.
I would also gladly help retagging areas wrongly tagged as
village_green. It's used a lot but nothing we couldn't fix in a
project, if we agree on a clear convention.

landuse=grass is horrible, since it describes a landcover
rather than
a land use, but it's plausible for those things that aren't
village
greens.
If you make an exception inside the UK for 'village_green',
remember
that some of us former colonies have them too. Lots of New
England
villages follow the general pattern of villages in Merrie Olde
England, and (at least historically) have a village hall, a
school, a
church, and shops clustered about a village green or common.
(All the
buildings in modern times may have been repurposed, but the
village
green is likely still there.)
