Recreation












OUR DEFINITION OF RECREATION


Activities which develop skills that provide the incentive, motivation, and means for spending leisure time constructively. As such, recreation must be concerned with the breadth and variety of activities: physical, social, artistic, or learning.


THE MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Oberlin Recreation Department is to improve the quality of life for all residents of the Oberlin community by providing equal opportunity for a wide variety of leisure and cultural activities, special events, facilities, and services that encourage health, fitness, relaxation, and enjoyment. In addition, the purpose of this department is to work cooperatively with other appropriate entities which will provide recreational opportunities for broader community involvement.
