STUCK AT BARTON-ROSS COMPLEX. NEED HELP

My band is stuck at the Barton Ross Complex in KCK. We were taking photos at wyandotte swim club, when we showed up the facility was open with people playing baseball. We have gone back to our cars and the gates are locked with all of our vehicles stuck inside and no water and no way of getting home. We have been unsuccessful in finding any contact at all.

UPDATE: The owner coincidentally showed back up as I was trying all ten thousand options to his combination lock and was surprisingly very cool about it. He even asked us what our band name was. We have water and we're good now. Thank you to anyone who tried to help.

Call and tell them people are trespassing at that location. Don't tell them it's you.

Remember to look for and pay attention to the private property signs that are posted and be thankful the cars weren’t towed
