Swope Park in Kansas City, MO is set to be removed.
The original deal was that because of a $10 mil donation from a (now dead) millionaire, a no-kill shelter was going to take the land of 4 holes at Swope Park. While not ideal by any means, the Kansas City Flying Disc Club has been cooperative with the city planning.
Plans have now changed and the city wants to put the shelter in the middle of the course effectively shutting down the course permanently.
Swope Park is the cornerstone of the Kansas City Wide Open which is over 30 years old, and at 36 years old is the oldest course in the metro area.
We simply are asking the city to stick with the original plans and leave us the remaining 14 holes.
Please consider signing the petition, especially if you have ever played this iconic course.
