Here’s a weird one for the day. Denver is considering charging businesses for using the parks.
I can’t imagine being charged for taking your exercise class to a park. I wonder if companies will be charged for company picnics?
I know parks have a hard time surviving. They’ve never exactly been high on the governments agenda for financial support.
I remember when I was in wildlife management, we had to take shop class because parks can’t afford to hire anyone to come in and make repairs. So, in a sense, I can see why they might charge. On the other hand, it could also reduce park usage, and that would be equally as bad.
