Denver May Force Fitness Groups To Pay To Use Parks

Stand and deliver

Groups of people who enjoy working out together in Denver's parks may soon have to pay up if the city pushes forward with a proposed fee for hosting fitness classes.

Boot camps, yoga groups and joggers all frequent the city's parks, CBS4 reports, but now the city council is considering adopting a permit and fee structure.

Tragedy of the commons? Who could have seen this coming?!

Beat me to it, but not sure this is a 'tragedy' in that the folks aren't grazing the grass like the livestock did. Well, at least most of them...
There is an agent charging a fee while using the commons, so there's an argument for 'repayment' to the taxpayers for providing it.
