“…Present results reinforce the importance of parental PA, particularly mother's PA, either by acting as role models or by providing more encouragement, facilitation, and/or by introducing children to sport clubs (Kobel et al, ; Rodrigues et al, ). Higher SES and urbanization may provide better access to sports and facilities, either through payment of fees and equipment or by proximity (Harrington, Jarvis, & Manson, ; Wijtzes et al, ).…”

“…According to many authors, health seems to be the most important motivating factor for participation in physical activity [21][22][23][24][25]. Consistent physical activity is the way to maintain the physical functioning of the body and reduces risks for chronic diseases [20]. Unfortunately, our care for health and well-being is definitely insufficient to maintain and improve basic health parameters [26,27].…”

“…Factors including the social environment, such as support from family and friends, and community spirit are also important [57,61]. Some of the barriers to physical activity that people face include family responsibilities, as well as cultural or social beliefs, economic or employment status, level of education, lack of time, lack of motivation, lack of energy, lack of money, health conditions, parenting demands, gender stereotyping, limited mobility and cultural expectations, which may restrict the participation of (especially) women in certain forms of physical activity [20,[61][62][63][64][65][66][67].…”

The range of sports and recreation facilities’ offer should be very wide in order for all social groups of the examined environment to have access to sports and recreation facilities. Therefore, Poznan City Hall should take into account all difficulties that limit the access to these facilities when preparing management policy of sports and recreation infrastructure and its functioning. That is why the main goal of this study is to recognize difficulties limiting the access to sports and recreation facilities in this city. The research carried out at indoor tennis courts (16 facilities), indoor swimming polls (12 facilities) and fitness clubs (11 facilities) in Poznan covered 1159 service recipients (using the services of a given sports and recreation facility). The author-constructed questionnaire addressed to the service recipients (residents of the city of Poznan who use the services offered at the examined sports and recreation facilities). Furthermore, the service recipients were divided into a group of people doing sports competitively and a group of recipients who have never practiced sports as professional athletes. The validated questionnaire sent to the examined service recipients included suggestions of difficulties that may limit the access to sports and recreation facilities in the city of Poznan. Further analysis of the importance of difficulties that limit the access to sports and recreation facilities may allow indicating the reason why recreational activity of residents is limited. A lower level of satisfaction and thus a lower rating of the respondents was obtained by a set of features constituting, according to the respondents, difficulties limiting the access to the use of sports and recreation facilities (high prices and too great of a distance of the sports and recreation facility from the place of residence).

“…The provision of sports and other recreation facilities are, to a great extent, provide places where children actively participate in recreation. The understanding of these relationships is eminent in research, policy development, and planning process (Harrington, Jarvis, & Manson, 2017;Draper, Basset, Villiers, De, Lambert, & Group, 2014). The government in most countries of the world is responsible for the provision and maintenance of public facilities.…”

The adage "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy" implies the need for recreation; hence, the emphasis on the provision of recreational facilities for especially the children and youth. This paper provides an assessment of the provision of recreational facilities and participation in the activity among children and youth in Greater Jos. Plateau State, Nigeria. The study employed a mixed-method integrated data analysis, namely remote sensing and Geographic Positioning System that determined the places of recreation. The paper examined the concept and policy as it affects the provision of recreational facilities and found out that the challenges range from distance to recreational areas, inappropriate facilities, and being grossly inadequate. It further discusses the absence of the facilities in the sectors other than the core-city. To mitigate the problems mentioned above, suggestions proffered include the need for the provision of recreational facilities, to achieve equity, appropriateness, and adequacy. There should be the need to implement the policies with regards to the provision of neighbourhood facilities, SDGs Goals 3, and 11 that promote healthy lives. Hence, the wellbeing of children and youth, and the settlements inclusive that enhances safety and resilience.
