- ItemAdministrative aspects of parks and recreational facilities at the local government level with particular reference to the Durban municipality : a theoretical and practical perspective(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1992-03) Bayat, Mohamed Saheed; Gildenhuys, J. S. H.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences. School of Public Leadership.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The provision and administration of parks and recreational facilities at the local government level was investigated. The status of parks and recreational facilities in overseas countries was described and compared with the situation in South Africa. After defining the concepts of play, recreation and leisure it was suggested that recreation is a basic human need throughout the life cycle. As such, the provision of parks and recreation facilities by local authorities is more than just a service. Since it concerns the basic social welfare of the community, it is also a moral obligation.
