I recognize that the use of Norwood Park and Recreation District (NPRD) recreational facilities, and all equipment and facilities owned, operated or maintained by NPRD and the participation in any program or activity of NPRD (collectively, the “Recreational Facilities and Activities”), have inherent risks of injury. For and in consideration of NPRD permitting me to use the Recreational Facilities and/or participate in the Recreational Activities, I, for myself, and on behalf of my spouse, assignees, heirs, guardians, and legal representatives hereby voluntarily indemnify, release from liability, agree to defend and hold harmless NPRD and its officers, board of directors, employees, agents, representatives, volunteers (paid and unpaid), and any sponsoring partners, organizations or groups affiliated therewith (collectively NPRD) for any accident, injury, illness, death, loss, theft, damage to person or property, or other consequences suffered by me arising or resulting directly or indirectly from my use of the Recreation Facilities and/or participation in the Recreational Activities, including but not limited to claims arising from or related to NPRD’s negligence. In the event that I am injured, I agree to assume any financial obligation, either through my health insurance, or through some other means, for any medical costs that I incur. NPRD assumes no responsibility for any medical expenses, injury, or damage suffered by me in connection with my use of the Recreation Facilities and/or participation in the Recreational Activities. I understand and acknowledge activities that are scheduled away from district facilities may involve added risks due to environment, location, weather, altitude, and distance from emergency medical services, risks that are inherent in the particular activity. I understand that I am encouraged to seek the advice of my own health provider regarding my ability or fitness to participate in any activity at any location listed in the guide before registering.
IT IS MY INTENTION BY SIGNING BELOW TO EXPRESSLY ASSUME ALL RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE UPON MYSELF, TO THE EXCLUSION OF NPRD, AND TO EXEMPT AND RELIEVE NPRD FROM LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR WRONGFUL DEATH.
