Recreation is the employment of time in a non-profitable way, in many ways also a therapeutic refreshment of one's body or mind.
While leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or rest, recreation is active and participatory, but in a refreshing and diverting manner.
As people in the world's wealthier regions lead increasingly sedentary life styles, the need for recreation has grown.
The rise of so called active vacations exemplify this.
Recreation, play, and fun are not the preserve of humans; nearly all creatures indulge in this to some extent. Play is essential for the development of skills, the most basic of which are motor skills in young creatures.
The choice of hours for recreation is for employees restricted by the requirements of, and agreements with, the employer (working time), and for students restricted by school hours. For people with their own business it is also restricted by the requirements of the work, such as the opening hours of the business based on wishes of customers, laws, and customs.
