Abstract

Active recreation is defined as activities engaged in for the purpose of relaxation, health and wellbeing, or enjoyment with the primary activity requiring physical exertion. They are often spontaneous in nature and participant-led, with a low level of organization and limited structure. Active recreation has significant links to health and wellbeing and provides its greatest value when it is shared with all citizens.
