That may not be entirely true. As I understand the law, you cannot sign away your right to sue for gross negligence. For example, if management failed to address a safety issue that was brought to their attention then that could be interpreted as gross negligence. Perhaps a attorney can jump in and set us right.

Besides there is nothing that says you can't use the recreation facilities if you don't sign. In many of the clubs that I belong to, most members refuse to sign it. There is one club that I know of that requires you to sign the release to be a member. I think that's unfair.
By signing it, you give up your rights to blame the district for their negligence.
I vote OVER REACH.
