Since the Welborn Baptist Foundation Nature Playscape opened to the public on May 26, We have seen record-breaking visitor attendance. Over 9000 people have come to play in the 3-acre area since its opening. Due to the heavy crowds, upgrades needed to be done to the waterfall and creek.
Part of building this Nature Playscape was venturing into the world of the unknown. There is nothing like this in our area and not too many in the country. We surely did not expect that we would have 9000 people visit within the first few weeks! We also did not anticipate some of the ways that people would play in it. We want to make sure everything is safe and structurally sound in order to handle the crowds. We want everyone to have a safe and happy experience.
Phase 1 of these upgrades are now complete meaning that visitors can enjoy having a unique place to cool off while exploring the Nature Playscape. More phases of upgrades will be done in the future as the Nature Playscape grows.
The Nature Playscape will never be ‘complete.’ It will evolve just like nature itself evolves. We look forward adding new features and changing around our current ones. It makes it a unique experience every time you visit.
To thank the community for being so patience during the upgrades, we are offering free admission on Thursday, July 26. The Nature Playscape is open 9 am – 4 pm.
