Publisher's Synopsis
As retirement years, leisure time, money available for leisure, and desire for therapeutic or healthy activities all increase, the need to provide an extensive range of leisure facilities becomes a matter of concern for both the private and public sectors. The chapters that follow are concerned with exploring the context in which leisure plays a constructive part in modern day life. Reference is made to a range of leisure projects including theme parks, visitor attractions leisure centres, zoos, marine animal parks and aquaria. A final section is concerned with the project development and some of the equipment and techniques involved.
