Basement leisure areas

Recreation rooms are spaces in homes, community centers, or institutions designed for leisure activities and entertainment.

Often called rec rooms, they typically contain games, comfortable seating, and entertainment equipment.

In homes, recreation rooms are usually in basements or bonus spaces: The kids are playing ping-pong in the rec room.

Institutions like hospitals, prisons, and dormitories provide recreation rooms as common areas for residents.
