Marilyn Daniel v. City of Colorado Springs, a Colorado Municipal Corporation and Home Rule City — Coats, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Coats concurred only in the judgment, agreeing that the court of appeals should be reversed but rejecting the majority's framework for interpreting the governmental-immunity waiver for facilities in parks or recreation areas. He would construe the statutory terms according to their established legal usage, legislative history, and the public entity's official designation and maintenance of the area and facility. He would treat the parking lot as a public facility located in a recreation area because it was designated and managed as a related facility of the golf course.
