Depending on where you are and what infrastructure you have access to, going "outside for recreation" can be an ordeal.
For example, fishing and most forms of camping are relatively inaccessible to me. Public transit tends not to run to such places.

- wutbrodo 7y agoI don't think the term is defined as narrowly as going into the wilderness. For example, they say: > only 18% of Americans played outside at least once a week I doubt one in five Americans are driving out to national parks once a week, so "outdoor recreation" probably includes things like soccer in a city park or going for a bike ride. That being said, I wish the article was less vague with its use of terms like "play outside" and "outdoor recreation" so we didn't have to read tea leaves to deduce the reality.
