Recreation Direct

Recreation is an essential leisure activity pursued for enjoyment, relaxation, and the restoration of one's body and mind. Stemming from the Latin recreatio , meaning "recovery" or "restoration," it provides a necessary break from the daily monotony of work and responsibility.

: Unlike pure "leisure," recreation often carries a connotation of being morally or socially acceptable within a community.

: The primary reward is the enjoyment or sense of accomplishment found within the activity itself.
