ABSTRACT
The context of leisure space conceived of in geographic terms has conventionally referred to the physical settings where leisure activities are pursued. These settings may be natural or artificial or a combination of both. Natural space includes largely unmodified aspects of public and private land, waterways, waterfronts, lakes and oceans, and the air above the earth. True, any of this space may be polluted and, as such, modified. However, modification of this sort does not make it essentially artificial.
