Does St Peters require people to have insurance for weddings held on there
island in City Hall park... NO. Does it require me to have insurance to
have a pick up game of soccer, baseball or any other activity in their
parks...NO. I walk and ride my bike around their trails every day... I
don't think that I have insurance for that either. Why is geocaching any
different.
