Perez

Plaintiff, Jaime Perez, appeals from an order of dismissal after the trial court sustained without leave to amend the demurrer to his first amended complaint for negligence. We conclude that Perez has failed to state a cause of action because the defendant, the City of Los Angeles (hereinafter, the city), is statutorily immune from suit for injury from the hazardous recreational activity of “tree rope swinging.” (Gov. Code, § 831.7, subd. (b).)

We view the limited factual allegations in this rather bare-bones complaint as true in accordance with the usual rule governing appellate review following a successful demurrer. (Moore v. Regents of University of California (1990) 51 Cal.3d 120, 125 [ 271 Cal.Rptr. 146 , 793 P.2d 479 , 16 A.L.R.5th 903].) On October 13, 1991, Perez, then 12 years old, was at Peck Park in San Pedro when he fell and injured himself while swinging from a rope in a tree. The city knew that young children were attracted by and swung from ropes in trees over rough terrain and high gorges.
