LONG
BEACH RECREATION
Everyone
can benefit from indoor and outdoor recreation. Exercise has been
proven to reduce illness and stress in people of all ages and studies
show that youth involved in sports are less likely to abuse drugs,
tobacco, and alcohol. Physical activity also raises self-esteem
in children and youth, and reduces depression in adults.
