In the UK at least, a recreation ground is often used to play sport  
(cricket, football etc).  The wiki definition "An open green space for  
general recreation, which may include pitches, nets and so on, usually  
municipal but possibly also private to colleges or companies" implies  
that sports activities take place on it, so in my view it makes sense  
for 0x19 to be used.
