HOST 174 - Serious Leisure: Sport, Play, Recreation, & Parks HOST 174 - Serious Leisure: Sport, Play, Recreation, & Parks 5 Credits This survey course begins with an analysis of the leisure studies field. This field includes things such as recreation, leisure, sport, and play in general. Leadership in these fields requires a business acumen, comprehension of government involvement, and approaches to resource management such as park development and recreation programming. Those who make this field a career are often referred to those involved in serious leisure as professionals. The attributes that community leaders overseeing serious leisure need to make communities better places to live, work, and play are focal points of discussion and learning. We critically analyze resources, their usage (e.g., leisure, play), sustainability, and the conservation / preservation continuum (especially in recreation and park settings such as national parks). Finally, fundamental concepts of recreation and leisure and their roles in modern society and the global context are discussed and analyzed.
