Sec. 11-95-5. A recreation board or other authority in which is vested the power to establish, conduct, and maintain playgrounds and recreation centers pursuant to this Division 95, may accept any grant or legacy of real estate or any gift or legacy of money or other personal property or any donation, the principal or income of which is to be applied for either temporary or permanent use for recreation purposes. But if the acceptance thereof for recreation purposes will subject the municipality to expense for improvements, maintenance, or renewal, the acceptance shall be subject to the approval of the corporate authorities of the municipality.
Money received for recreation purposes, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the gift or legacy, shall be deposited with the municipal treasurer to the account of the recreation board or other specified authority. This money may be withdrawn and paid out in the same manner as money appropriated for recreation purposes.
