About Ball

Ball is a quiet, close-knit town of around 3,900 residents in Rapides Parish, located just north of Pineville and Alexandria. Originally founded in the 1890s as a sawmill community by Red River steamboat captain C.E. Ball, the area has grown into a peaceful residential retreat in central Louisiana.
