The Overland Park, KS. Arboretum - Should the City of Overland Park charge a fee?
What can you do for free anymore? Not much, right?
The list may shrink down more.
The new Overland Park, KS. city manager plans to soon propose charging admission at the 300-acre arboretum.
Currently, it's the only community amenity in Overland Park that doesn't charge a fee. While there might be mixed feeling about paying to see 25 acres of botanical gardens, six miles of trails and eight natural ecosystems, the city says charging a fee has always been part of the plan.
"It's just the timing of when, and I think that's what the council will have to decide, is now the right time when they have enough assets at the arboretum that we institute to charge or do we still continue to not charge," said Overland Park Mayor Carl Gerlach.
There's no specific amount being discussed yet. The Overland Park arboretum drew an estimated 120,000 people last year.
How many out of the 120,000 people who visited the Overland Park arboretum last year visited more than 2 times? I would guess, many. In addition, will families visit the arboretum as much? Once there is a charge, the arboretum will be competing with other venues like the zoo, movie theatres, ball parks, swimming pools and so forth . . .
When it comes to a family vote for a Sunday activity which do you think will win, a day at the pool or a visit to the arboretum? I know, they probably won't charge but I can see some interesting conversations, never the less. Myself, I enjoy the trip to the arboretum. I have even taken the time to identify many of the trees, something I see few kidos doing.
I hope the City of Overland Park finds a way to keep the arboretum free. I would also like to see more promotion of the arboretum.
