The population is an urban community that does recreational sports. Random sampling in this study totaled twenty-five respondents from various sports community groups and individually. Data collection techniques used in-depth interviews. The data analysis technique uses the method from Milles and Huberman, which is divided into four stages: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results found are that modern society does not know the definition of recreational sports well; they do recreational sports in their free time to maintain fitness, recreational sports are used as a lifestyle with the family, and the environment and mass media are supporting factors in understanding and accessibility in doing recreational sports. This research concludes that modern society needs to understand recreational sports better. However, they consciously do it with internal motivation and support from the environment, including family and mass media.
