Don Ball Park — Attraction in Derry

Sunday our family had a birthday under the pavilion for two children. The day started off by the father of the birthday boys asking one of the parks “security” personnel’s to assist him as there was a very dirty diaper left in a barrel in the area that his children’s celebration was being held.

There is plenty of parking. It overall seems very accessible and...

Don Ball Park is a great place to bring your young and adventurous children! Personally, I grew up as a child going here when they had the long metal slide and giant rubber tires (thank goodness they got rid of this and any other resemblance of the old equipment 😂)! The splash pad is always a big hit! There are picnic tables where families host inexpensive birthday parties, and there is a baseball field and football/soccer field. There are porta potties that are always available, but the bathrooms at the building are generally locked except for in the summer.
