What role do outdoor activities play in sports and recreation architecture?

Outdoor activities play a crucial role in sports and recreation architecture as they often inform the design and layout of the spaces. For example, if the outdoor activities involve a lot of running or physically demanding exercises, then the architects may need to ensure that the ground is level and that there are no obstacles that could cause potential injuries. Additionally, outdoor spaces may also require features such as seating areas, shade structures, lighting, and water sources to enhance the overall experience for users. Overall, outdoor activities can inspire architects to design spaces that cater to the specific needs of the activities and the people who will be using the spaces.
