If you haven’t ever been to Ball Ground, or if it’s been a while, then you are in for a real treat! Ball Ground is small-town living at its finest! Presently, Ball Ground boasts a population of approximately 1,750, and it continues to grow. People are wowed when they visit downtown Ball Ground! As a place that is full of rocks and marble, Ball Ground is emerging as a diamond in the rough. The city is experiencing tremendous economic growth. Historic buildings that had long been empty have been given new life. They are being transformed into restaurants, boutiques, art shops, an ice cream shop and many other types of businesses that people love to visit.
For instance, the Ingram Ford Dealership is now home to the V Market, which specializes in gently used items and antiques. Take a step back in time as you browse through the store. If retro items are not your thing, visit Southern Oaks Provisions, and you will find the latest in home décor. Another historic treasure located in downtown is the restored Atlanta Transit Authority trolley car #1386, which is now home to the Ball Ground Burger Bus.
Additionally, what was once Roberts General Store and Warehouse is now the Corner District. The Corner District is an eclectic wedding and event venue. Ball Ground is also home to another wedding and event facility — the Wheeler House, which was featured on TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta.
City Park, located in downtown, is home to the Ball Ground Rocks the Park Summer Concert Series, featuring the finest local talent and movie events. Family outings can be quite expensive, but in Ball Ground, families can eat inexpensively at one of the local restaurants or bring their own meal to the park for a relaxing evening of free entertainment.
In addition to these new businesses and fun events, you will soon see Ball Ground on the big screen! Ball Ground was the primary setting for the filming of the movie Mena, which is now known as Made in America, starring Tom Cruise. It is scheduled to be released on September 29th. Ball Ground was in the early stages of its new transformation, as movie crews rolled into town to transform the city into Mena, Arkansas. Once the movie crews left, Ball Ground picked up where it left off — becoming the place that “Rolls out the Red Carpet, Not the Red Tape,” which is why “Ball Ground Rocks!”
