*1  Upon the foregoing papers, it is ORDERED that these motions are disposed of as follows: This action arises from an accident which occurred at Babbin Court Park in Spring Valley, NY. Plaintiff C.N. [hereinafter "C.N."], who was almost three years of age at the time of the accident, sustained a fracture to her left forearm when she fell off a piece of playground equipment known as an “Astrorail Climber” [hereinafter "Astrorail"]. C.N. was allegedly positioning herself at the top of the Astrorail, preparing to slide down it, when she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Plaintiffs now allege causes of action for negligence, breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty and premises liability. Plaintiffs seek damages for the medical expenses incurred as a result of this accident. Now, each Defendant in this action has moved separately for summary judgment.

Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320, 324 [1986][internal citations omitted].Village Motion for Summary JudgmentBabbin Court Park is a public park owned by the Village. The Village made the decision to purchase the subject playground equipment, including the Astrorail. In support of its motion,
