Years ago, the rigors of daily life left little time for leisure
activities or personal recreation. As modern life has added new
layers and forms of activities, "places to play" and our
range of options for recreation and exercise have multiplied.
Todays typical recreational and community facilities accommodate an abundance
of activities with multipurpose spaces that expand and contract ...
with flooring or walls that can be moved in short order ... with
spaces that make safety and supervision an integral part of the
design. They offer equipment and programs for all ages that run
the gamut from swimming to workout to soccer, from indoors to outdoors,
from low-tech to high-tech. Recreation helps us re-create ourselves,
by refreshing our strength and spirit as it releases tension and
anxiety. Creating places for play makes architecture and interior
design especially fun.
