I seem to recall this coming up before in connection with exercise/keep fit classes being taken in public parks. IIRC a Dragon's Den participant also wanted to start up a business involving something similar and this issue was pointed out. As has been said, I think there is a difference between private individuals using public parks for recreation etc. and others doing so in an organised way or as part of a business and insurance may well be a key factor however that'd depend on any legal advice received and whether any notice is taken of it.
