Simple terms explainer: 

Councils must make sure there are enough facilities available for people to engage in recreational, sporting, and cultural activities. These facilities can include parks, sports grounds, community centres, and cultural venues. The goal is to provide spaces where people can participate in activities that promote physical health, mental well-being, and community engagement. Doing so helps improve the quality of life for the community and encourages a more active and connected society.
