recreational spaces
Places for play
Recreational spaces are areas designated for leisure activities, play, and relaxation—parks, playgrounds, sports fields, community centers, and similar public or private facilities.
Urban planning often emphasizes recreational spaces as essential for physical health and community well-being: The city converted the vacant lot into recreational space.
The term appears frequently in zoning discussions and development proposals.
