Community planning includes the responsibility to provide lakes, parks, gardens and similar areas for relaxation or recreation. Each community must first have a large lake in the community - even if excavation is required. Swimming and water sports (non-motorized) are available for everyone.

Communities should have various parks, gardens, fountains, and playgrounds.  There should be a path around the lake for walking or running or bicycling. Responsibility for maintenance is a community effort, and gives opportunities for individuals to render community service in specialized fields to their liking.

Recreation also includes various types of sports.  The central complex should have fields for such activities. Recreational facilities should also include areas for outdoor classes, camping, seminars, and retreats. These are not only for guests but for residents as well.

Outdoor recreation is highly recommended for children.  Various types of indoor recreation should also be available, such as dramatic and musical performances. Recreation can be social or private, functional or spontaneous.

Some types of so-called “recreation” should not be allowed - such as drinking, or other intoxicants, or gambling, or abusing animals, etc.  These can hardly be considered re-creation but are actually detrimental and destructive. There are so many types of healthy recreation, both indoors and outdoors, that do not require these. We don’t expect to have a problem finding people who agree.

We want a nice balance of work and recreation.  This atmosphere will make the community successful, as well as attract guests and visitors.
