Father accuses water park of racism after it canceled birthday party for his teenage son when 500 of his friends turned up and left staff feeling 'uncomfortable'
2022-08-11
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Chris Evans said his family was discriminated because of their race when the Summit Waves park in Lee's Summit, Missouri, canceled his son's birthday party

  • Evans signed a $2,000 contract to host 250 people, but officials said the park failed to properly prepare extra security for the event

  • Officials also claim a crowd of 500 people arrived for the party, accusing the family of promoting the event on social media, which was prohibited

  • The park offered an apology for poor communication and for 'appalling' statements made by a lifeguard on social media following the incident

#9  Unless about 10 of the extra 250 out of contract guests showed up with lifeguard cards and gear, I don’t it would be legal to open the pool in those conditions.

Using the facts presented, they acknowledged that they signed a $2,000 contract to host 250 people and showed up with 500 .

They were in clear violation of the contracted 250 body agreement.

QUOTING MR. EVANS
“After 250, nobody could get in,” Chris Evans said. “We didn’t have keys to the door to just come in and do what we wanted.”

This is what is called breach of contract, NOT discrimination?

Uhem....why security at all? Ah, Lee's Summit. Any rate, I would guess there is a minimum lifeguard:customer ratio.

#2  Was the father going to pay the admission fees for all 500?

If not, well duh! No wonder the park refused admission!
