An NMR study of polycrystalline Pr_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}Mn_{1-x}Ga_xO_3 (x=0 and 0.03) at 3 K is presented. Zero field spin-echo spectra of the Ga doped compound consist of an overlapping ^{69,71}Ga signal at 74~MHz (hyperfine field of 5.3 T), a ^{55}Mn double exchange line at 375 MHz (35.5 T) and a weak Mn^{3+} signal between 400 and 550 MHz. Measurements in an applied field show a step-like increase in the double exchange line intensity, which corresponds to an increase in the amount of the ferromagnetic metallic phase. This coincides with a step-like feature in the bulk magnetization measurements. The effect is similar to that in the previous field dependent ^{55}Mn NMR measurements of Pr_{0.67}Ca _{0.33}MnO_3. At the demagnetized and remanent state, a variation of spin- spin relaxation time, T_2, across the ^{55}Mn line, due to the Suhl-Nakamura interaction is observed, which suggests that the ferromagnetic metallic double exchange regions, at liquid helium temperatures, are at least 4 nm in size.
