Festivals, dances, games and music’s, have always been a part of life, although at time they have been looked upon in groups.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
In
all settlements, it is explicit that man should work and also play whenever he is free from established
routines of work and domestic duties, and since man cannot work throughout the day, it then become
necessary that during
the free time man can engage himself in different forms of recreation activities.
Recreation has been regarded as an integral
part of social life. It is growing
important aspect of physical planning which is often neglected. The benefits derivable from recreation cannot be
over looked. The average adult must
‘spend a certain number of hours daily at some kind of work in order to earn a living or to care for a family. The
growing child must attend school regularly. Eating, sleeping and other task usually take a
definite amount of time each
day. But it is seldom necessary for people to devote all their time for this occupation. Most people have sometimes in
which they do things for the sole reason that they find pleasure in doing them, such
activities are called recreation.
Different people all
over universe achieve varying forms of satisfaction from this different activities, whereas, some achieve theirs, outside
their daily routine work and other achieve satisfaction during their daily
route work. There are some other
conflicting ideas in take and satisfaction for one individual to another makes the issue of recreation vague and
ambiguous. This is because what serve as recreation for one man, may be
an economic venture to another, where as to others, is a disgusting idea to be
engaged in these activities.
As the estate are the
new open and planned areas within Ilorin metropolis, that are suppose to have contained social life facilities such as
recreational facilities are not
applicable or in some cases not functioning.
Therefore,
recreation cannot only gives pleasure but also helps to renew or recreate the mind, soul and body. For this
reason, if well organized recreational facilities are provided for the estate, resident of the
estate will be able to satisfy themselves
by engaging in various recreational activities and they will also have the opportunity to develop their personalities and
interacts to fullest possible
extents.
