Origin: From Latin recreatio (restoration, renewal).

Also means

re-creation

Usage Note

Recreación covers both 'leisure and recreation' (actividades de recreación) and the act of recreating or reenacting something (la recreación de una batalla). Because of this duality, context is important; recreo is the more common everyday word for school recess or leisure time.

Examples

"El parque ofrece espacios de recreación para todos."

Natural Translation

The park offers recreation spaces for everyone.
