LaROCQUE, J.

Joseph Hall and his wife, Elizabeth, appeal a summary judgment dismissing a claim for personal injuries inflicted when Joseph stepped in a hole on the grounds of the Turtle Lake Village Park during a fair sponsored by the Turtle Lake Lions Club. The circuit court concluded that the Lions Club had immunity under sec. 895.52, Stats., as a "landowner" who allowed Hall entry for "recreational activity." We affirm.
