SummaryFree public park playground.
AdmissionFree entry
Ballard Park’s all-inclusive playground is one of the strongest accessible playground options in North Mississippi. Official parks materials identify it as an all inclusive playground, and the project portfolio from the playground builder describes a large-scale, nationally recognized inclusive design with dynamic play for children of all ages and abilities. Families visiting Ballard Park also get the benefits of a larger park setting with restrooms, trails, a lake, open space, and nearby picnic and pavilion amenities. It works best as a destination outing rather than a quick neighborhood stop.
