Miracle League Cherokee has announced plans for a new Miracle League field and adapted playground. Representatives with Miracle League Cherokee met with Cherokee Recreation and Parks recently to discuss plans for the proposed handicapped-accessible field at Patriots Park. The Miracle League field will be built using state-of-the-art surfacing, which will allow for a more "game-like" field instead of the typical hard mondo surface. The facility also will include an air-conditioned area next to the field where players can cool down and an area that will provide clean water adjacent to the field. In addition, ADA-approved bathrooms will be positioned between the special-needs playground and Miracle League Baseball field. The new Miracle League field and adapted playground are being funded through recent approval of $22.8 million in park bonds through Wells Fargo, according to previous reports.
