    Outdoor Recreation

    From quiet activities, like birdwatching and fishing, to more strenuous ones, like climbing and Scuba diving, outdoor recreation takes us into nature and clears the mind.

    Amusement Park

    Amusement Park

    Amusement park is the more generic term for a collection of amusement rides and other entertainment attractions assembled for the purpose of entertaining a fairly large group of people. An amusement park is more elaborate than a simple city park or playground, as an amusement park is meant to cater to adults, teenagers and small children. Click Here for More

    Birdwatching

    Birding is a hobby concerned with the observation and amateur study of birds. The term is of American origin; the term "birdwatching" is still commonly used in Great Britain and Ireland and by non-birders in the United States. Since visual observation is routinely complemented with auditory observation, the term "birding" is perhaps more accurate, and appears to be growing in usage. Click Here for More

    Fishing is both the recreation and sport of catching fish (for food or as a trophy), and the commercial business of catching or harvesting seafood (either fish or other aquatic life-forms, such as shellfish). Click Here for More

    Garden

    Abrams, Peggy

    The word "horticulture" is formed from two Latin words "hortus," meaning "garden"; and "cultura," meaning "cultivation." Horticulture is a branch of agriculture, which is the science of farming, or the cultivation and management of plants and animals to supply man's needs. Gardening is the cultivation of plants within a relatively small designated area, such as in borders or enclosed spaces around a building, in a greenhouse, or in a container. Landscape gardening also includes the design and maintenance of areas such as sports fields, golf courses, public parks and cemeteries. Click Here for More

    Diving
    Anonymous

    SCUBA is an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. In short, scuba diving is an underwater activity practiced with the help of a system or an apparatus (usually a tank and air pressure regulator) able to provide a reserve of air in order to allow the diver to breathe air during the immersion.
