Ballard Park

Ballard Park is a 13-acre public park located between Narragansett Avenue and Hazard Road, featuring a network of walking trails and coastal woodlands. Created from the estate of a wealthy shipbuilder in the late 19th century, the park showcases natural beauty with diverse flora and charming rocky shoreline views. A relaxing stroll reveals sculptures, ponds, and open green spaces ideal for picnics. Visit during the warmer months when the flowers bloom and the wildlife is active. The park lies a short distance from the bustling oceanfront of Newport, making it a serene escape from the nearby tourist spots.
