 ABSTRACT /PREFACE

The release of Tension and Strain of Work from the Body may be understood as a natural
physical response to fatigue.Yet relaxation as a regulated right of human labour in the Western
world emerged only in the nineteenth century, and ever since has been repeatedly checked
by anxieties about Mass Leisure and by the economic growth.

Space created for public use where people can enter for individual or public interests with- out
social discrimination. If well organized, it will help to enhance cohesion of community life,
positively change the public behaviour, and increase the community awareness,pro- mote
individual identity.

INTRODUCTION

Like culture and art, recreation, leisure and sport activities play an important role in
cities. Their benefits may include improving the health and well-being of individuals,
contributing to the empowerment of individuals, and promoting the development of inclusive
cities. Recreation, leisure and sports activities may involve individuals, small groups, teams
or whole communities and are relevant to people of all different ages, abilities and levels of
skill. The types of recreation, leisure and sports activities people participate in vary greatly
depending on local context, and tend to reflect the social systems.

Recreation refers to all those activities that people choose to do to refresh their bodies
and minds and make their leisure time more interesting and enjoyable. Examples of recreation
activities are walking, swimming, meditation, reading, playing games and dancing.

Leisure refers to the free time that people can spend away from their everyday
responsibilities (e.g. work and domestic tasks) to rest, relax and enjoy life. It is during leisure
time that people participate in recreation and sporting activities.

Sport refers to any type of organized physical activity, e.g. soccer,rugby, football,
basketball and athletics.
