The local mapper should say what the area is primarily used for .. It
may be used for a weekly market (some 'weeks' are 6 days in Africa).
It may be used for social/political gatherings.
I know these places well. They are never a marketplace (in Senegal and
Mali, those are dedicated areas - clearly marked). They are not
dedicated sport pitches - but soccer kids play soccer. They are
sometimes used for gatherings. Or parking.
The concept they are closest to is "plaza"
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza) - which, by the way, does not seem
to have currency in Openstreetmap.
The surface is not grass. I would hesitate to call it sand, could be
ground. In any case 'unpaved' could be used.
surface=ground ?
