The Ball 40 Program

The BALL 40 is an exciting program that utilizes a team of enthusiastic volunteers to make John Ball Park the center of great family fun! This new organization will be the face of the park. You’ll greet the guests and ensure that they are experiencing all the park has to offer. You’ll maintain the beauty of this historic park, and you’ll find entirely new ways to make John Ball Park even better!

There are a variety of volunteer opportunities to choose from. Do one…. or several!

Volunteers are needed in the following areas:

Green Team
Pond Purifiers
