WHY IS RECREATION IMPORTANT FOR HUMANS? • Humans are social animals • Most of the activity in the city usually ends when the office workers go
home. • The opportunities for other kind of activities have been lacking. • A social place, a place of public meeting, for exhibitions, performances and gatherings, or just a place where people could stroll at their leisure, they could stop to converse, to view sculpture, to listen to performances, window-shop or purchase something to eat or drink can relieve daily stress and increase the productivity of the citizens at work.
