The Miracle League of Coastal Alabama

4/10/2019 (Permalink)

The Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Lions Clubs are working together to build a park with a baseball field and playground facility designed to remove barriers that keep disabled residents off the field. The Miracle League fields will be located at 1545 Gulf Shores Parkway Box 159 in Gulf Shores, near Gulf State Park and Shelby Lake. The park will accommodate wheelchairs, walkers and other assistive devices while helping to prevent injuries. For many, it will be their first opportunity to play side-by side with family and friends in an atmosphere where everyone benefits. The main obstacles for these individuals come from playing on natural turf fields used in conventional youth baseball leagues.Their fully inclusive playground will be built with the same playing surface as the Miracle League field. The playground equipment will be designed for everyone regardless of mental or physical limitations.
