Abstract
The attractive nuisance doctrine is a very limited principle, but one which has broad implications for application to playgrounds, sports facilities, and sports equipment. The doctrine is one component of the common law governing the duty of owners of all public or private property in relation to the safety of those who might enter the property or premises. The attractive nuisance doctrine is considered an exception to the general rule that governs the liability of landowners in relation to trespassers. The attractive nuisance doctrine has been used in cases regarding swimming pools that are inadequately secured, and has broad application to other sport and activity facilities. Administrators should recognize that sports facilities and equipment are attractive to children and that children are likely to trespass upon such areas. Reasonable care requires that periodic inspection occur in order to identify and correct dangerous conditions.
