This Year's Project: Miracle League of Sioux City Splashpad Maintenence
About Our Organization
The Miracle League of Sioux City is a 501(c)(3) that provides recreational facilities designed for individuals with disabilities to enable integrated play, promote acceptance and safety, provide positive experiences, and inspire laughter and joy for participants and their families. We are governed by a board of directors and are a member of the National Miracle League organization. Our facilities are open to all members of our community, but our Miracle friends are our priority. Located in the Riverside Park area, The Miracle League of Sioux City is the realization of a dream by many in our community. The park includes a rubber-surfaced baseball field, playground, 2 splash pads, mini-golf course, bocce ball court, We-Go-Swing for children in wheelchairs, buddy swing park, music park, walking path and concessions/restroom facility. Phase one of the complex was completed on September 12, 2015, and our latest phase was completed on October 16, 2016.
Current Project: Miracle League of Sioux City Splashpad Maintenence
Miracle League Park has been a beacon of joy and inclusivity for our community, providing a safe, accessible space where children of all abilities can play together. One of the main parts of this park is our beautiful splashpad, a destination for summer fun that has brought countless smiles to children’s faces. Unfortunately, recent vandalism has left the splashpad in to be closed down to our community for spurts of the summer.
We are seeking to raise $3,000 to restore and enhance the splashpad, ensuring it continues to serve as a place of joy, laughter, and inclusion for all. This project aims not only to repair the damage caused by vandalism but also to upgrade the facility to better meet the needs of our community in the coming years
Why this matter:
-
Inclusion and Accessibility: The splashpad is designed to be accessible to children of all-abilities, embodying the spirit of Miracle League Park. Repairing and upgrading it ensures that every child can continue to enjoy this vital part of their recreational experience.
-
Community Well-Being: Restoring the splashpad will bring back a beloved community asset, providing a safe and fun environment for families to gather and children to play.
-
Preventing Future Vandalism: By investing in enhancements and implementing preventative measures, we aim to protect the splashpad from future damage and ensure its longevity.
How You Can Help:
We invite you to support this vital project through The BIG GIVE. Your contributions will directly impact the revitalization of the splashpad, helping us restore a key element of Miracle League Park and reaffirm our commitment to creating a welcoming space for all.
Updated Baseball Gear
Project Details
As we enter our 10th season, we are seeking the community's help in providing some updated basebear gear for our baseball players. We provide a league in the fall and spring and need new equipment to ensure the safety of our athletes. Your funds would provide new gear that would be used for years to come. Our athletes range in age and ability, and we want all to have access to what they need to play the sport they love.
Scheels Field Project
Project Details
The Miracle League of Sioux City will be constructing a second baseball field in the Spring of 2021. We have teamed up with Scheels and The Arena on this project. This field will be used by our Miracle League players among with Little League, SYA, travel baseball & softball teams. The Arena will also be running adult wiffle ball and kickball leagues. We are also adding a bocce ball court and a We-Go-Swing for children in wheelchairs to our complex.
Since our beginning in 2014, when our goal was to raise $400,000 to build a barrier free baseball field, to today where we are a $2.5 million complex (the largest Miracle League in the world) our community has been incredibly supportive.
We have already seen that same support as this project gets underway. Scheels has stepped forward as the title sponsor, the City of Sioux City has given a financial gift and ten other entities have also contributed over $400,000 of the necessary $650,000 for this project.
