TERMS & CONDITIONS OF MEMBERSHIP / RULES OF THE PARK Prior to using any equipment, ramps or structures in the park you should check it for safety and suitability for your purpose and skill levels. If you find any temporary defect in the equipment you should immediately advise a member of staff who will rectify the fault. The risk of injury from the activities involved in these programs is significant, including the potential for permanent disability and death, and while particular rules, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist. All members knowingly and freely assume such risks, both known and unknown, and assume full responsibility for their participation and for having and using the appropriate safety equipment. We do not accept any responsibility for other members’ failure to comply with these rules other than due to our negligence. We accept no responsibility for loss, theft or damage to any personal property. Any accident must be reported to a member of staff immediately. Members willingly agree to comply with the stated customary terms and conditions for participation. If a member observes any unusual significant concern in their readiness for participation they should remove themselves from participation and bring it to the attention of the nearest member of staff immediately. Should any member of staff decide at any time and for any reason that a member is not behaving in a manner suitable they may remove a member immediately from the park and a note will be placed on the members file. We reserve the right to refuse admission. No graffiti will be tolerated anywhere in the park except in designated areas. Members wishing to carry out proper graffiti art should register their interest with the manager. No food or drink is to be brought into the premises. Smoking is not allowed in the activity area of the park but is allowed in the smoking areas provided. No alcohol or drugs will be allowed on the premises. Any evidence of use or trade in either will result in immediate removal from the park, a life ban and the authorities will be advised. Any abusive, dangerous, discourteous or anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated and may lead to member(s) being removed from the park.

Skateboarders under 13 years of age, Roller bladders and BMX riders are required, and skateboarders 13 and over are encouraged, to wear an adequate helmet properly fastened at all times. All participants are encouraged to wear wrist, knee and elbow guards to minimise the risk of injury. Children under the age of 12 must not be left unattended by a parent or the responsible adult who brought them at any time. BMX bikes must have fully functioning brakes to allow all options to be available in the event of possible collision. Members should allow other users free and easy access to all ramps. Do not attempt any manoeuvre you feel is beyond your skill level. If you require help please ask a member of staff. Make clear your intentions to other members before starting a manoeuvre if it is likely to obstruct them. Avoid cutting across, in front of or behind other riders, boarders or bladers. |
