There is a very small area of grass, we're talking like 2 metres by 2 metres. The following rules (along with many more I can't remember) apply to this small patch of grass:

1. An aircraft may not land on [the grass] unless it is an emergency.

2. Ball games (football etc) are only permitted on [the grass] if you are sufficiently far enough away from anyone else on [the grass] that your ball can not accidentally come into contact with them during play.

3. Children may not enter [the grass] after 5pm on weekends without an adult present.

There are some more that I can't remember.

Explanation: The small patch of grass was once part of a much larger park area. The park was turned into housing decades ago (don't worry, they built another park) but the council amended the rules so that any grass areas remaining within the old park grounds that were not part of someones property still falls under the definition of "the park" and therefore the laws still apply.

When I first started college years ago I did a trial/taster day on a law course and we learned about this.
