Shawnee Mission Park Department

The Shawnee Mission area on the Southwest side of Kansas City is one of the fastest growing regions in the United States. As the site for the new Sprint Communications Campus, the area drew people and money. This placed additional expectations on the Shawnee Mission Park District and forced a re-design of the existing "Theatre in the Park". An analysis was commissioned to review the current "Theatre in the Park" to examine the existing program, focusing on ways to improve revenue flows, phased improvements to the physical facilities, the number of persons served, and theatrical equipment upgrades.
