Topics such as park use in local governments, adventure-based experiences, Nordic walking, and therapeutic models are discussed from both academic and practical perspectives. Emphasizing the transformative power of recreation on individuals and communities, this work aims to contribute to the scientific literature and guide the development of future recreation practices.
