Leisure segregation refers to the separation or division of individuals or groups based on their leisure activities or preferences. This can occur in various forms, such as the separation of different age groups in public leisure spaces, the division of people based on their socioeconomic status in recreational establishments, or the exclusion of certain groups from participating in certain leisure activities due to discrimination or social barriers.

Leisure segregation can have negative impacts on individuals and communities. It can lead to the creation of exclusive leisure spaces that only cater to certain groups, further perpetuating inequality and marginalization. It may limit the opportunities for social interaction and integration between different segments of society and reinforce the social divisions already present. Additionally, leisure segregation can create a sense of isolation and exclusion for those who are unable to access certain leisure activities or spaces.

Efforts to address leisure segregation involve promoting inclusive leisure opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their age, gender, socioeconomic status, or other social factors. This can be achieved through the development of public leisure spaces that are accessible to all, the implementation of policies that ensure equal opportunities for participation, and the promotion of diversity and inclusion in leisure activities and facilities.
