Waivers and releases for any individual under 18 years of age shall be executed by that individual's parent or legal guardian. Waivers and releases for all Park users shall be kept on file for a period of one year from such individual's first use of the Park and, after each one-year period, a new waiver and release shall be executed and filed.
The Park shall be open year-round, with hours of operation to be determined by the Superintendent.

Signs which recite the rules and regulations for use of the Park shall be posted at the entrance and at least one conspicuous place at the Park. Such signs shall be approved by the Township Solicitor and insurance carrier.
Children under 12 years of age must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Any such responsible adult must sign a document accepting responsibility for the supervision and care of the child during such child's use of the Park. The form of such document shall be prepared by the Township Solicitor and approved by the Township's insurance carrier.
Any member who violates the Park rules and regulations shall be immediately removed from the Park, forfeit his/her membership without refund and be denied access to the Park for a period of three months.
