I’m not a parent, so I can’t speak too much to that. Though my first reaction is that a lot of parents are too protective to want play dates posted online for anyone to show up to.
If you had nicer homes signed up, I could see MLM people renting them out to host their gatherings to sell whatever it is they are selling… if it would be financially viable. I think that community has a lot of fake it till you make it attitude.
I wonder if garages or workshops would be an option. Some cities have maker spaces, for people who need some tools or space, but don’t have access to a shop or the money to buy a bunch of tool. Being able to find a nearby neighbor who has some tools and some space to build a one off thing could be interesting.
If specifically looking for things where events are posted and public, I think it then starts crossing into the Meetup space. More recently when I browse that site it seems more and more meetups require membership and are limited in the number of people that can sign up. I think this is inevitable, as few places can handle an unlimited number of people, and they want to keep out the creeps and weirdos.
