How to tag a "party hall"

In Mexico we have "salones de fiestas" (party halls). They are indoor or outdoor places that you can rent for an afternoon and hold a children's birthday party or similar. They often have a few playground-like things (swings, ball pits, monkey bars).

I've been tentatively using leisure=playground, but somehow it doesn't feel right.

I'm fairly sure that it's been discussed previously at some point, but all I can find is this old thread on the tagging list.

sounds like a playground. maybe add access=private and an operator=* to it?

I wandered onto this old question accidentally, but in the mean time it looks like a good tag for this has been adopted: amenity=events_venue. "Facilities for events such as banquets, weddings, etc."

From Pieren's and moszkva-ter's replies, I think I have the answer:

leisure=playground, access=private (maybe operator= if it's a chain of places) for for-rent children't party facilities.
amenity=community_centre, access=private for privately-owned "social halls" - where you would hold a wedding reception or something.

Thanks to all.

Hi Federico since there has been this proposal http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Edinburgh_Festivals using the term festival, you could consider the term festival as a value with the key leisure. Adding tags as name, roof, address etc following the tag list.

I don't think that that's relevant in this case, unfortunately.

Thanks. But yeah, this is not quite a festival grounds. There are towns around here with festival grounds (e.g. the "annual horse fair" with its dedicated place), but these are small, privately-owned places.
