What Is a Miracle Field? Conventional baseball fields weren't built for wheelchairs, walkers, or sensory sensitivities. The Miracle League removes those barriers.
Rubberized Turf Surface - A cushioned, flat playing surface that's safe and accessible for wheelchairs, walkers, and all mobility levels.
Accessible Dugouts & Gates - Wheelchair-accessible throughout, so every player can get on and off the field with ease.
Buddy System - Every player is paired with a volunteer buddy who helps them bat, run the bases, and enjoy the full game experience.
Celebration, Not Competition - League play focuses on joy, inclusion, and participation. Every player bats, every player scores, and everyone wins.

Announcement of new Shakopee Miracle League Field
What does Tahpah mean?
From the May 8, 1974 Shakopee Valley News - The city’s athletic complex on Co. Rd. 15 near the swimming pool has a new name now, and Marilyn Ries is $30 richer for submitting it. The land is now called Tahpah Park. The Shakopee Jaycees sponsored a Name the Park contest which ended last week. There were 600 entries. Mrs. Ries said she had called the Minneapolis Public Library to find the meaning of Sioux Indian words in coming up with her winning name. Tahpah means “ball” in Sioux, she was told, and the judges liked that name best.
