Risk Warning – Trees
Being under or near trees may be dangerous and could cause injury or material loss. To mitigate these risks, we periodically, and at least annually, inspect our trees to identify and rectify problems. However, trees can drop limbs, or entire trees can fall, without warning and there is no way of determining when. Thus, occupants and guests must accept these risks as inherent to being outdoors, and around the trees in our park.

The management wishes to warn occupants, guests and other persons who engage in any physical recreational activity, within the meaning of the Civil Liability Act 2002, in, or near the park, that the pursuit of such activities may result in harm or personal injury. All person who engage in a physical recreational activity do so at their own risk and should exercise their own judgement with respect to risks and their mitigation.
