Recreation Grounds Act, 1859

Lands may be conveyed to trustees for recreation grounds, &c.

1. Any lands may be lawfully conveyed to trustees, to be held by them as open public grounds for the resort and recreation of adults, and as playgrounds for children and youth, or either of such purposes, and for any estate, and subject to any reservation, restrictions, and conditions which the donor or grantor may think fit: But this enactment shall not extend to authorise any lands to be so conveyed for any greater estate or interest than the donor or grantor would, independently of this Act, have power to dispose of.
