personal injury or property damage which I may have, or which may hereafter accrue to me, as a result of participation in said activity. This Release is intended to discharge
in advance the City of Arcadia, (and their respective agents, volunteers and employees), from and against any and all liability arising out of or connected in anyway with my
participation in said activity. I further understand that accidents may occur during said activity, and that participants in such activity may sustain personal injuries, and/or
property damage, as a consequence thereof. Knowing the risks of said activity, nevertheless, I hereby agree to assume those risks and to release and hold harmless all of the

participant is a minor, I also give permission for his/her participation in the above activities, and for any necessary emergency medical treatment. I understand that the City
of Arcadia has no obligation to supervise my children at the close of the above activities and I release the City of Arcadia, its officers, employees and agents from any liability
resulting from the lack of supervision of my children at the close of the above activities. I understand and agree that participants involved in recreation programs are subject
to being photographed and such photographs may be used to publicize city programs. In consideration for the City of Arcadia’s acceptance of this registration, I hereby
agree to indemnify and hold harmless the City of Arcadia, its officials, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers from any liability or claim or action for damages resulting
from or in any way arising out of my participation in any City Recreation and Community Services Department program. I further understand and agree (1) to assume all risks
inherent in the activities which are available and in which I may participate, and understand that these activities involve risk to my person and property and (2) to assume
the risks, if any, arising from the conditions and use of equipment and facilities. I further understand and agree that there may be risks and dangers not known or reasonably
foreseeable to me at this time, and in accordance with Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, I understand that my release extends to claims which I did not know or
suspect to exist in my favor at the time of execution of this release. I understand and agree that included within the scope of this release is any cause of action, arising from
the performance of or the failure to perform maintenance, inspection, supervision or control of equipment and facilities, or the failure to warn of existing dangerous conditions not known to or reasonably discovered by the City, including all acts of negligence of the City.

I hereby warrant that I am the custodial parent or legal guardian
of __________________________________ (print minor’s name), who is a minor, and I agree on my own and said minor's behalf to the terms and conditions of this release.
In the event of injury or illness while the participant who is a minor is attending the recreation activity, I hereby authorize the City of Arcadia Recreation and Community
Services Department to consent to medical treatment on behalf of the minor as deemed necessary. The undersigned, as parent or legal guardian of the child identified on
