What is a private nonexclusive easement?

An "easement" is a legal right to use the property owned by another person (i.e. the person who granted the easement). An easement is usually created by a recorded document, whether a deed or an easement agreement. The purpose of the easement (for example, a driveway or a walking path) is whatever permitted use is stated in the easement document. The fact that the easement is "perpetual" means that the easement has no term and will continue indefinitely. An easement that is "non-exclusive" simply is an easement that someone else may also use. This might mean the person who granted the easement or whoever else may be identified in the easement document. The easement document should state who else may use the easement. A perpetual easement usually "runs with the land", meaning that the easement continues in effect regardless of whether the property benefited by the easement is sold or if the property burdened by the easement is sold.


May children play on an easement without violating the terms of the easement?

It really depends on the nature of the easement. And the nature of the easement depends on the terms of the easement. Appart from state law which generally defines an easement, the terms of the individual easement usually limit the usage of the easement property...or rather subject the holder of the rest of the property and what is left after the use of the easement to what can and cannot be done on/with/to the land/sky/land beneath the easement. (It is convenient to see an easement as an area with clear boundries, most of the time; however, easements are really rights to use the area a certain way in opposition to the holder of all the other rights to do with it as he pleases.) You really have to know the terms of the easement.
