Needs
A project of this magnitude will require additional operation and maintenance
needs at these parks. Nebraska Game and Parks must also be mindful of the
existing infrastructure and see that it continues to meet the high standard desired
at these parks.
staFFing
Additional staff and reprioritization of existing
staff will need to occur to fulfill the needs
of guests when offering these activities.
It will be of utmost importance to have
activity coordinators working together
to ensure efficiency.
marketing
To make this venture successful, Nebraska
Game and Parks must implement strategic
marketing and public relations campaigns to
highlight the opportunities across the four
parks and recreation areas. We need to build
and sustain the venture park destinations
excitement that attracts people to think
outside and visit the outdoors.
transportation
Some visitors will want to jump in their own car
and come and go to the parks as they please.
Others may desire public transportation among
the parks. A feasibility study will be done to
determine if it is cost effective to offer a shuttle
service throughout the complex of parks.
entrance Fees
It is important that visitors do not have a
burdensome process when trying to enjoy
the facilities, so Nebraska Game and Parks
is researching the best way to allow visitors
to take advantage of all of the activities at all
of the parks. A pass system or wristband
system, along with easier credit card sales
points are among the ideas being considered.
sustainability
Venture parks will be economically self-sufficient
and be one economic unit within the park
system. The goal is to generate enough revenue
to meet the needs of the long-term maintenance
and replacement of these new features.
