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.)
