Since there are no indicated phrases that are underlined, I had to choose which sentence contains the perfect participle phrase and that would be sentence 2: Having determined a need to offer opportunities for sports and leisure activities, the city created several recreation areas. The perfect participle phrase in this sentence is this: Having determined a need to offer opportunities for sports and leisure activities.

Answer;

-Having determined a need to offer opportunities for sports and leisure activities, the city created several recreation areas.

Explanation;

-A participle is a form of a verb that can act as an adjective. There are three kinds of participles: Present, past and perfect

-A participle phrase that is nonessential to the basic meaning of a sentence is set off by commas or other forms of punctuation. A participial phrase that is essential is not enclosed by punctuation.

-The perfect participle indicates completed action. You form the perfect participle by putting the present participle having in front of the past participle. It can be used to form the passive voice. For example ; Having determined a need to offer opportunities for sports and leisure activities, the city created several recreation areas.
