Recreational Immunity

Recommended Posts

State and county parks that previously were protected from litigation through recreational immunity, no longer are if they charge people to visit the recreation area or campground. In fact, someone already has filed a notice of an intent to sue Coos County over a park injury.

"We are going to have to scrutinize closely if we decide we want a fee area," Coos County Parks Director Larry Robison said. "It may no longer be cost effective to charge a fee if the revenue generated doesn't cover potential suits."

Recreational immunity protects landowners, whether public or private, who allow people to use their land for recreational purposes for free. If an owner doesn't charge, that person or agency isn't liable for injuries.

This is bad news. If there are no fees, there are no funds to support our parks. If there are no funds, the parks will shrivel and dry up. I can't believe that the government would allow this to happen. I think there will be a solution before this all comes to be.
