Abstract
Although the primary motivation for participation in recreation is personal
enjoyment, it may result in intellectual, physical and social growth of an
individual.
Different approaches have been used in the planning and development of
recreational facilities, they are however, found to be inadequate for sustainable
recreational development.
This study assesses the limitations of the policies and approaches to the
planning and development of recreational facilities in Jalingo. It suggests major
shortcomings in the planning policies and approach, culminating into inadequacy
of recreational facilities in Jalingo town.
In view of the above shortcomings, an appropriate approach is adopted and
planning proposals made. It is proposed that the plan would be implemented in
3 phases. It is to involve the public, private and voluntary organisations. A
coordinating body has also been proposed.
