Brookridge Golf and Fitness Center, formerly called: BROOKRIDGE GOLF COURSE, located at 103rd and Antioch Strreets, Overland Park, KS is "A 20 YEAR PLAN" , starting with the DEMOLITION of the Golf Course grounds, the Wildness areas interspersed with its acreages on both sides of Antioch at around 105th Street. ?AS OF 2024, GOLF COURSE USAGE IS : ADMISSION FEE, PLUS MONTHLY USAGE. NO ONE KNOWS THE END OF PLAYING 9 HOLES OF ONCE 18 HOLES, HERE.? THE DEMOLITION HAS BEGUN AND THE "NEW CONCRETE JUNGLE" TO A FUTURE "Little Seville" shows its DIRT ! "ONCE OPEN SPACES" IN SCENIC OVERLAND PARK, KS, WERE REALLY "UNDEVELOPED LAND". AREAS OF WILDERNESS were once HOME TO WILDLIFE OF DEER, FOXES, RABBITS, RACCOONS, POSSUMS AND HUNDREDS OF CANADIAN SNOW GEESE, ALL WHO LIVED IN THE RAW WILDERNESS AREAS.
The GOLD COURSE WAS Developed IN THE 1960'S.
Golf Course GREEN GRASSES Refreshed themselves with water from the ponds and 2 creeks that ran through the 67% FLOOD PLAN LAND. "THE GREENS" ONCE HOSTED GOLF GAMES AND NOW HALF OF the Golf Course IS GONE, DEMOLISHED. THE ABSENCE OF WILDLIFE THAT ONCE CALLED THIS AREA 'HOME ARE GONE. ONE OF the CREEKS HAS HAD ITS FLOW WEST OF THE GOLF COURSE REDIRECTED IN OLATHE, KS.., which the developers failed to cite, when the City Hall Forums were held on the "proposed REDEVELOPMENT", when the MAYOR and CITY COUNCIL VOTED FOR REDEVELOPMENT AGAINST MAJOR OPPOSITION FROM THE OVERLAND PARK RESIDENTS. OVERLAND PARK RESIDENTS, AMONG OTHER SITE SEERS, ARE WITNESSING THE END OF AN ERA WITH TEARS AND HEARTBREAK FOR WILDLIFE of its Deer, Foxes, Rabbits, Possums, Raccoons, among other Wildlife, here. Where can Wildlife go, as 0verland Park Develops and DEVOURS ITS UNDEVELOPED AREAS THAT USED TO BE AREAS OF NATURAL BEAUTY IN THIS AREA. ONE SOLE DEVELOPER convinced the Mayor and its Council to VOTE FOR A MASSIVE COMPLEX, including LUXURY HIGHRISE APARTMENTS, Stores, Theater, Entertainment Center and more, against the TEARS, PLEADS AND REJECTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AT SEVERAL TOWN HALL MEETINGS TO NO AVAIL. 11 MILLION DOLLAR PURCHASE IS NOW A FEDERAL, STATE OF KS AND CITY OF OVERLAND PARK, KS. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COSTING 2 BILLION DOLLARS and probably a lot more. Last pictures of the EARTH, STONES, MASSIVE BULLDOZERS at 103th and Antioch, at the Northwest cirner of the "DEMOLITION FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT" are shown, herewith, taken on Sunday, July 28, 2024. Mgb.
