I find this continues to be true in my adulthood. With the blessing of remote work (or failing that, an office culture that doesn't mind), I'm very happy to take a midday walk and enjoy the outdoors. I'm very certain that if I had compatriots with me now like I did during school recess that we'd definitely find some sticks and swordfight with them, or climb rocks and trees, age be damned.

I've never seen an office culture that minded people taking a walk (unless the team was in war room or something). A lot of workers go out to buy lunch anyway.

For hourly production workers that have to clock in/out and may only get a fixed 30 lunch break then it is more difficult.

A 30 minute walk around most parts of downtown San Francisco is not exactly the kind of 30 minute walk OP likely has in mind.

The problem is no sword fights or basketball courts :/ it also feels strange to randomly do something like a few pushups at the office whereas at home I do it all the time.
