  1. It's just that....A public park that the taxpayers pay for. I could see it if it was a private property but it's not. To have someone pay for taking pictures in a PUBLIC area is a dictatorship on the city's part. Anyone who falls for this is an idiot. There are plenty of places to take even better pictures. Leave Kansas City and it's communists laws alone and go to Burr Oak in Blue Spring, or someplace else. There are plenty of other places even more fitting and more beautiful for pictures. UNBELIEVABLE.

  2. Surrounded by idiots9/20/20, 9:36 AM

    I could see a charge by the hour if a wedding is planned in the rose garden or a birthday party is scheduled in a shelter house and it is reserved, but not for taking pictures of anything in a space paid for by tax dollars. What is impacted if a pair of people leaning against a tree for a picture. If there is no additional impact on the park it should be free, or charge all people to get into the park, then you will have a pristine unvisited park. KCMO government is so full of idiots.

  4. And who is going to enforce the law. Oh and it's a stupid law at that. The Parks Dept. in my opinion is starting to have too much say in how the city is ran.

  5. using the park for profits is different than using the park for recreation.

    it just is.

    a photographer with an organized photo shoot changes the nature of the park. it just does. other visitors will clear away from their photo shoot area.

    if photographer wants to take pictures unmolested than take pictures on property he owns.
