Ballard Park
Ballard Park is a public park and is situated on the Indian River Lagoon and the Eau Gallie River
in what was historically Eau Gallie, FL. It contains diverse recreational facilities and amenities, including boat ramps, lighted tennis courts and
pavilions. The park also contains a memorial to naturalist and author Thomas Barbour, who frequented the shell mounds on the park grounds as a boy.
Two archeologists have speculated that the park is on the site of the former Ais Indian town of Pentoaya, where they spent their summers.
The Melbourne High School rowing team bases their training here.
There is a small beach on the north side that would make beautiful backdrop to a wedding ceremony. Be sure to reserve a pavillion and maybe cater in some food for
your guests
