I heard a solicitor on the radio this morning say that warning signs would prevent a claim being made on behalf of a child injured at this park. That's not a cut and dried legal position. If the park was negligently constructed a warning sign won't necessarily be good enough for Council to avoid liability for an injured child. Depends on the facts.

Since the park opened at the start of the year dozens of parents have reported broken bones, facial fractures and burns.
