No liability for city when plaintiff fell in a hole hidden by grass in a closed park

The court found that no reasonable jury could conclude that the City’s actions were “palpably unreasonable” in protecting against the condition that caused the plaintiff’s injury. While walking in a City park, the claimant’s leg went in a hole covered by grass and brush. The City had closed the park years before and had posted no trespassing signs. The City continued to conduct inspections of the park for hazards on a weekly basis. Summary judgment was granted.
