Support the
Friends of Ballard Park
In 1996 a grass roots movement took shape when a
group of individuals formed the 501 (c)(3) Friends of
Ballard Park. Over the years the Friends of Ballard Park
have worked to preserve and protect Newport's only
nature preserve by organizing clean ups and hiring
a landscape architecht to maintain trails. They have also
dedicated countless hours on these tasks themselves.
Now that the park has been established as a clean and
usable area for the public, the Friends of Ballard Park has
focused on creating educational programs and events
that the public can enjoy. These range from free educational
programming for under privledged youth to popular free, family
events like the Ballard Park Pumpkin Tour.
