Can a city break a deed that gave property to the city for use as a park in perpetuity? The land was granted to the city in 1943, the city built a small storage shed in the 1950s and subsequently buuilt a larger building for city use. The stand taken by thecity is that the deed was violated so it is now null and voild. There is a park on the property and playground equipment. It is thecity’s intention to “give” the land to a nonprofit childcare center.

      The college and it had been gifted with deed restriction was lawsuiti was overturned last time was seven.
      The city sold some park land to court and it had been gifted with deed restriction requiring to the college and what used to the city sold some park there the lawyers get bunch of money and lawsuit.

      No, the city cannot do this. The original property owner could come back and sue them for violating the deed restrictions. Any member of the public could sue the city too (since the park appears to benefit the public).
