As a perhaps helpful example, near my old home in Portland, OR, USA
there was a "retreat" facility operated by the catholic diocese. It
featured extensive grounds that you might call a park, except that they
were fenced and intended for religious or reflective use, with shrines
and such placed throughout. This is visible in iD at
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?relation=186579#map=18/45.49915/-122.61703
[3], and you will see that it is currently not marked with any polygon
(although there is a point for the church and school with the same
operator).
I think there should be a polygon for this site, but a 'park' tagging is
not really appropriate since it is not open to the public and not
intended for many of the uses of a park anyway (e.g. you wouldn't run
your dog there). But I'm not sure how it being out of public access
changes the situation.
