"Elevate Branson's All Natural Playground was originally designed for the kiddos we serve through our children's programs," explained Elevate Branson co-founder Amy Stallings, in a recent social media post. "Sadly, many of our kids only have parking lots to play on at the weekly and extended stay motels here in Branson where they live. We felt strongly that a playground that was designed in an all-natural style would be beneficial to help the kids find a place of peace and safety. Since it has become such an amazing place, we have decided to open it up to our community."

Because there are many scheduled programs on the Elevate Branson campus, the playground will be open to the public during specific hours.  

Throughout the school year, the park is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday and Wednesday; and 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. 

Summer hours in June and July are 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday; and 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.

August hours are 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; 1 p.m. to 5:30 on Tuesday; and 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Friday.

There are also many ways that the community—businesses, churches, organizations or individuals—can help with maintaining the park through sponsorship. A complete list of the park's sponsorship opportunities can be found on the organization's website, http://elevatebranson.org/elevate-playground/.
