Morphology
The meaning 'a place or building for leisure activities' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'recreation' (activity done for fun) with 'facility' (a building or equipment for a specific use). This is a regular noun+noun compound following common compositional patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words should readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Recreation facility The name recreation facility comes from the idea that recreation means 'to refresh' and a facility is a place made to help you do things. Imagine a building with a pool, courts and a gym where people go to relax and play. That's why recreation facility means a public place for 'leisure' and activities.
