Wiktionary

Picture a sign at the edge of a lake: fishing here is for pleasure, not for a living. Recreational is the label English puts on things that belong to free time rather than to work — the boat, the centre, the activity, the reason for doing it at all.

可以想成：湖邊立著一塊牌子，說明這裡釣魚是為了消遣，不是為了謀生。recreational 就是英文貼在這類事物上的標籤：這艘船、這個中心、這項活動，屬於閒暇時間，而不屬於工作。
