ENJOY WINTER WITH
CARROLL COUNTY RECREATION & PARKS
    2021 marked the 50 th anniversary of Carroll County’s Department of Recreation & Parks.
    Over that time, hundreds of thousands of program registrants and park visitors have had
    their lives positively impacted by our programs and parks.

    Generations of residents have played on the same ballfields, hiked trails, paddled at Piney
    Run Park and attended Outdoor School at Hashawha. As a community, we are healthier
    because of these experiences and are more in tune with nature and each other.

                                     Coaches served as mentors, teammates became lifelong friends and we likely learned
                                     a thing or two about ourselves, our neighbors, and our community along the way. Join
                                     us this winter for new and exciting programs, get out and enjoy our parks, and help us
                                     continue to celebrate our golden anniversary all year long.

                                Thank you for being a part of our Recreation & Parks story for
                               the past 50 years and we look forward to seeing you this winter.

       WAIVER OF LIABILITY, COVID-19 INFORMATION &
     AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC LIKENESS
       Waiver of Liability
       I, in my legal capacity as parent/legal guardian of the minor(s) named on the Carroll County
       Department of Recreation & Parks Registration Form, or as a participating adult over the age of
       eighteen (18), recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury, property
       damages and expenses which my child(ren) or I may sustain as a result of participating in this Program.
       I further agree on behalf of the minor(s) named on the Carroll County Department of Recreation &
       Parks Registration Form or myself, heirs, representatives, executors, administrators and assigns to
       assume all risk and agree to fully release, discharge, indemnify, hold harmless and defend Carroll
       County Government and its employees, volunteers, agents, and servants from any and all claims for
       personal injury, property damage, death or accident of any kind arising out of or in any way related to
       the participation in the Program, however the injury or damage occurs.

       COVID-19 Information
       I, on behalf of my child(ren) or myself, acknowledge and understand that the novel COVID-19 virus is
       an extremely contagious virus and is believed to be spread mainly from person to person contact and
       that the Carroll County Government does not warrant or guarantee that you, your child(ren), your
       spouse, or anyone else will not be exposed to or infected with the COVID-19 virus as a result of my or
       my child(ren)’s participation in the Program.  I have independently evaluated the risks of being exposed
       to or infected by the COVID-19 virus and have determined to participate or allow my child(ren) to
       participate in the Program.  Finally, understanding those risks, I, for myself, my child(ren), my spouse, or
       legal representatives, heirs, and assigns, hereby agree to assume full responsibility and liability for the
       risk of bodily injury, illness, permanent disability, and/or death which may result from exposure to or
       infection with COVID-19 before, during, and after participating in the Program.  Due to the strenuous
       nature of some activities, the participant, or if the participant is a child, the child(ren)’s parent or
       guardian is encouraged to consult with a physician concerning the participant’s fitness to participate in
       the Program.

       Authorization for Use of Photographic Likeness
       I agree to allow the Carroll County Department of Recreation & Parks to take and utilize photographic
       images of the registered individual(s) for the purpose of promoting and publicizing of the Department’s
       programs and/or events.  If I prefer to not allow the above registered participant(s) to be photographed,
       I will call 410-386-2103 to register my request.
