A public or private owner,  easement holder,  lessee,  tenant,  manager or occupant of premises is not liable to a recreational or educational user except on a showing that the owner,  easement holder,  lessee,  tenant,  manager or occupant was guilty of wilful,  malicious or grossly negligent conduct that was a direct cause of the injury to the recreational or educational user. B. This section does not limit the liability that otherwise exists for maintaining an attractive nuisance,  except with respect to dams,  channels,  canals and lateral ditches used for flood control,  agricultural,  industrial,  metallurgical or municipal purposes. C. For the purposes of this section: 1. " Educational user"  means a person to whom permission has been granted or implied without the payment of an admission fee or any other consideration to enter premises to participate in an educational program,  including the viewing of historical,  natural,  archaeological or scientific sites. A nominal fee that is charged by a public entity or a nonprofit corporation to offset the cost of providing the educational or recreational premises and associated services does not constitute an admission fee or any other consideration as prescribed by this section. 2. " Grossly negligent"  means a knowing or reckless indifference to the health and safety of others. 3. " Park"  includes outdoor school grounds that are open to recreational users,  excluding swimming pools and other aquatic features. 4.
