Parks, Recreation, and Leisure Studies

For most of us, leisure and recreation make life worth living. Activities such as swimming, boating, hiking, golfing, or even simple card games help us relieve stress, socialize with others, and learn valuable skills.

Students of parks, recreation, and leisure study the hows and whys of recreation. Their studies are broad enough to cover everything from helping recovering addicts through leisure activities to finding funds for a new boathouse.
