• Pennsylvania – eNotes: General Liability – October 2026 (tthlaw.com) — A recent Commonwealth Court decision involving the Borough of Prospect Park found that a paved pathway and pavilion area in Moore’s Lake Park do not qualify as “streets” or “sidewalks” under Pennsylvania’s governmental immunity exceptions. For residents, this means the borough avoided liability in a tragic vehicle accident case there, clarifying how local park pathways are treated under state tort law.
