Berkeley Mills Ballpark is located at 69 Balfour Road in Hendersonville, Henderson County, North Carolina, approximately two miles north of the city center. The resource is a baseball sports complex consisting of a 1949 baseball field, 1949-50 grandstand, and other resources dating from the late twentieth century (some or all from the late 1970s) and early twenty-first century. The ballpark lies to the north of Berkeley Mills (now Kimberly Clark), the historic textile mill which had the ballpark constructed and which sponsored its home team, the Berkeley Spinners. The ballpark exists in a park-like setting, tucked against a wooded hill to the southwest scattered with picnic shelters and other amenities, and reached by a gravel road which passes through rolling lawn areas to connect to Balfour Road. A modern sign and wooden split rail fence is at the entrance to the property. The ball field's level topography is the result of cut and fill that took earth from the grandstand area to create a level raised outfield. The area to the northwest and northeast of the ball field is wooded. A narrow dirt drive encircles the ball field.
