Transfer to local authority of spaces held by trustees for purposes of public recreation.

3.(1) Where any land is held by trustees (not being trustees elected or
appointed under any local or private Act of Parliament) upon trust for the
purposes of public recreation, the trustees may, in pursuance of a special
resolution, transfer the land to any local authority by a free gift absolutely
or for a limited term, and, if the local authority accept the gift, they shall
hold the land on the trusts and subject to the conditions on and subject to
which the trustees held the same, or on such other trusts and subject to such
other conditions (so that the land be appropriated to the purposes of public
recreation) as may be agreed on between the trustees and the local authority
with the approval of the Charity Commissioners.

(2) Subject to the obligation of the land so transferred being used for the
purposes of public recreation, the local authority may hold the land as and
