Recreation, a topic studied since the 1930s in geography, in spite of its definition simply as a form of enjoyment, offers multiple benefits to its practitioners. It happens outside of obligatory occupations in urban areas or in the countryside, at home and overseas, and in a wide variety of settings. Recreationists demonstrate embodied forms of engagement that are socialized, and thus their place in society determines the sites where they participate as well as their capacity to do so. Recreation has a range of impacts – environmental, social, physical, economic – and its sustainability, especially outdoors, needs more geographic investigation and public support.
