Description:

Friends of Ballard Park is an organization that was established to serve as stewards for Ballard Park, a 13 acre nature preserve in Newport, Rhode Island.

Friends of Ballard Park hosts educational programs for area schools, teaching students about animals, plant life, and the importance of eco systems. Forty-five species of birds were spotted in the park during 2009. In 2010, twenty-eight species were believed to be nesting in the park.

Friends of Ballard Park also presents free and popular family-oriented events including the Mad Hatter Iced Tea Party in August, the Pumpkin Tour in October, the Illuminated Garden in February, and outdoor movie screenings and concerts throughout the summer.
