The Shakopee Miracle Field: A Beacon of Hope and Inclusion


The Shakopee Lions Club, in close collaboration with the Shakopee Baseball Association and the City of Shakopee, is proud to spearhead the development of Minnesota's 14th Miracle Field at Tahpah Park. This field represents more than a place to play baseball; it is a gateway for children with disabilities to enjoy America's favorite pastime, fostering friendships, recognition, and self-esteem in a fully accessible environment.


Why a Miracle Field?

Our Miracle Field isn't just a new venue—it's a new beginning. The field will be constructed with custom-designed, rubberized turf to ensure safety and accessibility, complete with large gates for wheelchair access. Situated near traditional baseball fields, it promotes integration and a strong community spirit, truly celebrating the abilities of each athlete.

About the Miracle League Organization - There is something about playing the game that lights up a person’s eyes. But for children and adults facing serious physical and mental disabilities that opportunity can often be difficult to achieve. Baseball diamonds weren’t exactly designed with wheelchairs and crutches in mind.


The Miracle League removes the barriers that keep children with mental and physical disabilities off the baseball field and lets them experience the joy of America’s favorite pastime. Since the main barriers for these adults arise from the natural grass fields used in conventional leagues, Miracle League teams play on a custom-designed, rubberized turf field that accommodates wheelchairs and other assertive devices while helping to prevent injuries.


But it’s more than playing a game. The Miracle League is about making new friends, building self-esteem and being treated just like other athletes. To help the athletes, the Miracle League uses a “buddy” system – pairing each player with an able-bodied peer. The result is a bond that cannot be described. The Miracle League serves children and adults who suffer from any physical or mental disabilities, which causes them to be excluded, whether intentionally or not, from conventional Baseball leagues.


The first Miracle League field opened in Conyers, Georgia in April 2000. Word spread and by 2002, fields opened in South Carolina, Alabama, West Virginia, Illinois, and California. There are presently 350 plus Miracle League Organizations across the country including Puerto Rico and Canada, while serving 450,000 plus children and adults.


The Miracle League has an aggressive plan to help local communities build Miracle League complexes around the globe.


Our players may not be able to run the bases or hit the ball as well as some of their peers, but they have an equal amount of love and determination to play baseball. We want to help them achieve that dream.
