Recreation Groupings(Chubb, 1981)

• The undeveloped recreation resources, where
  physical attributes of land, water and vegetation
  are untouched
• Private recreation, such as second homes,
  resources owned by quasi-public organizations
• Commercialized private recreation resources, such
  as shopping malls, theme parks, museums, gardens,
  and resorts
• Publicly owned recreation resources, including
  parks, sports and leisure facilities, national
  parks, forest and tourist sites
• Cultural resources, based in both the public and
  private sector, such as libraries, the Arts and
  what is increasingly being termed the cultural
  industries
• Professional resources, which may be divided into
  the administrative functions for recreational
  provision and management.
