incredibly dumb
The message here is “Fishers does not want people (and their money) from outside of Fishers.”
Got it. Message received.
So True. I am not THAT interested in their waterfront park.
What about Lawrence which borders the lake, or Fortville? I would have thought those residents would be a major component of the visitors to this beach.
I also wonder if there should be some sort of attendant taking money at the gate. Untold numbers of people will be turned away without a pre purchased pass, never to try again. They will just find somewhere else to go to access water. Such as a pool that is cleaner than the lake, especially in this area which is very shallow.
Not sure this beach would be a $50 experience for most people.
Imagine if everyone from outside Fishers boycotts their beach and their restaurants. And if outsiders don’t boycott I hope they all show up by the vanload and get their $50 worth!
1+
It’s 12.50 per person for a family of 4. Carmel’s water park is $16 per person with a three dollar resident discount.not sure what the issue is?
Thats a good analogy. I hope there is enough bike parking and sidewalks to accommodate foot traffic.
Not having onsite way of buying parking is going to be an issue.
Carmel doesn’t charge for parking…the fee mentioned is an admission fee for a waterpark
Big difference between $50/car for non residents and $0 fee for residents.
Indianapolis should pick a Large piece of land and build their own with a few rides/entertainment area etc…
Good comments from all above. My take is that Eagle Creek Park is just not charging enough to residents outside of Marion County for access to this public amenity. $6.00 per visit or $60 annual pass for visitors to Eagle Creek versus a $50 per visit to a beach on Geist?? Yes, it seems that Fishers is trying to send a clear message to people who live outside their small community.
Excellent points
It’s $50 per season not visit. Read the article again.
Its $50/day
If this is a nice amenity as it seems to be, then there should be a charge. It’s simpler to charge by car rather than person, but $50 just sounds like a lot especially if there are one or two people visiting rather than 4 or 6. Do you want to penalize a nice young couple from Lawrence, for example. My concern is with the major’s rationale. If they are concerned with having enough parking, then perhaps you designed the facility incorrectly. Was it a given that the site was limited in parking capacity? And if it’s free for residents, what’s to discourage them from coming in 2 or 3 cars? It seems the right answer is more than $0 for residents and less than $50 for others. It’s hard to say what’s right for the start, but this definitely sends a bad message at a critical time for building a great reputation for a valuable new amenity.
Yes. Fishers doesn’t want “those other people” in the park.
