The Coming Separation of Leisure Studies from Parks and Recreation Education.

Burdge, Rabel J.

Journal of Leisure Research, v17 n2 p133-41 1985

The present connection between parks and recreation education and leisure studies inhibits the training of practitioners for leisure delivery systems as well as the accumulation of knowledge about leisure behavior. Therefore, leisure studies should not be housed with college level programs in parks and recreation education. (Author/MT)
