I received this VERY disappointing message from Crown Center in my e-mail today. Connor & I have always referred to this as the best splash fountain in Kansas City.
New policy for
Crown Center Square Fountain
This summer we've seen a dramatic increase in the number
of visitors to Crown Center . There are now more family-oriented things to see and do
in the Crown Center District than ever before. As a result, this area is now a
true hub for families from throughout Kansas City and the region to spend time
together, and we couldn't be happier about
that.
With the large crowds, however, has come a growing
concern about the safety of adults and children playing in the
Crown Center Square Fountain. The increase in visitors also increases the potential
for accidents, or for exposure to water-borne health issues in a facility that
was never designed or intended to be a public
pool.
That's why, effective immediately, people will no longer
be allowed in the Crown Center Square Fountain . We know this will disappoint many people who have
enjoyed a run through the fountains on a hot summer day, but guest safety is our
utmost concern. Crown Center Security will ask anyone stepping into the fountain
to move to nearby dry areas.
The fountain will
continue to operate, and will continue to offer periodic programmed water
displays with music recorded by the Kansas City Symphony, so visitors can still
enjoy the fountains - just not run through them
anymore.
