Great place to spend a day with the family. This park has two playgrounds, a lake with fishing and waterfowl, a skatepark, cross country track, walking trail, disc golf course, numerous soccer and baseball fields, and a concession stand. There is literally something for everyone. The only detractors for me is the road noise and lack of a splash pad. Definitely a great park to visit.

Everytime I Go With Family We Have A Blast!!! They Got Pavilion Table Areas Where You Can Eat Food, We Had Watermelon. My Kids Loved Feeding The Ducks Bread, It Was Soo Hot The Day Me & My Family Went But They Got A Snow-cone Food Stand It Was Long Lines But It Helped Cool You Down. It Got, Walking Tracks, & Volley Ball Nets, We Had A Blast Playing That Sport So I Recommend Fun For The Whole Family!!

If people were more responsible and respectful to their surroundings the park would be a five star area. Trash, litter, on the grounds and in the water is degrading. Ample parking and walking areas.

One of the jewels of Tupelo. We go here for walks, frisbee, soccer and volleyball regularly. The baseball/softball fields look amazing too. Probably should be utilized more for athletic tourism.

The grounds are now terrible and the restrooms atrocious. The grass isnt cut well, half the flowers and shrubs are dead, the tables are in poor condition, the walkways are crumbling/have sink holes, trash cans bent over, and the gazeebo looks pitiful. The restrooms are nasty and rarely look as if they have been cleaned at all. It used to be a nice park.

Beautiful park with so much to do. I love going here to exercise or just relax and feel at peace. Its absolutely amazing when the ducks have had their babies and are only a few feet away from you. You get experiences from this place unlike any other. Beautiful gazebo. Great playground for kids. Plenty of land to walk around and play on.

We really enjoyed our day at Ballard Park. The ducks are beautiful and not scared of people and the grounds are clean. I just really wish they a larger play area with more equipment to choose from. Compared to parks in other cities it would never measure up. not that I am unappreciative of the park, but I just wish our area had more places to take our children. It is so sad that we have nothing remotely close to take our kids that they enjoy. Thats why so many get into trouble, what else can they do around here you know

Ive been coming to this park since I first started playing soccer at a young age. Still a great soccer complex, but now it also offers a skate park, multiple play grounds, a youth baseball complex, disc golf, and they host city wide events. It has a stage to accommodate speakers, bands, and other city events. The Oren Dunn museum has been there for as long as I can remember and it is a great place too.

I love this park!! It has a little of everything such as a playground, a skate park, picnic tables, walking trails, soccer and baseball fields, a large pond with ducks and geese, and benches around the water to sit relax and enjoy the views. Theres also a museum located here along with a guest service center. This local Tupelo community park also provides a fabulous Christmas display among many other community events throughout the year!!

I got lucky and got a day off during the week. I took my 5 month old son in the morning. I played a round of disc golf and pushed him in the stroller while he napped. Then I chatted with some nice folks who were grilling at one of the pavilions while I fed him his lunch. It was a very nice day.
