Welcome to Dorset Adventure Park!

We are excited to have your child join us for an adventurous and fun-filled experience. Below is important information regarding the activities and safety measures at our park.

Please read the below information carefully. 

Acknowledgement of Risk

I understand that the Adventures require some physical effort, are psychologically challenging and involve risks or dangers. This may include contact with other participants, natural and man-made obstacles, unpredictable environmental conditions and can cause feeling of discomfort or fear. We ensure that all activities are conducted with the highest safety standards, but it is important to be aware of the potential risks. The Mud Trail is a woodland assault course on undulating ground with natural obstacles in addition to the obstacles constructed by Dorset Waterpark Ltd. The Waterpark is an inflatable assault course spread over multiple lakes. Participation involves swimming, swinging, slides and jumping from height. I accept that there is a risk of injury when undertaking such adventures.

Assumption of Risks

By allowing your child to participate, you acknowledge the inherent risks involved in all activities at Dorset Adventure Park. These risks include, but are not limited to, collisions, obstacles, weather-related hazards, and natural hazards. Injuries may range from minor to severe. Participation is physically demanding, and accidental injury is possible.

Limitation of Liability

In the unlikely event of an accident occasioning bodily injury, or loss, or damage to my personal effects, I acknowledge that the Company will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss, damage or injury arising from or in connection with the Adventures (except for death or personal injury caused by the Company’s negligence) and I will forgo all and any that I may have, against the Company in this respect. I also indemnify and hold harmless the Company, Directors and employees from any claims, direct or indirect loss, damage or injury arising from or in connection with my wards acts or omissions.

Indemnity

I agree to indemnify Dorset Waterpark Limited, its directors, employees, and authorised persons from and against all actions, claims, costs, expenses, and demands arising from my child’s failure to comply with any of my obligations as set out above.

We recommend consulting with a doctor before participating.
