TYLER, Texas — Construction for the Miracle League ballfield in Tyler to allow children and adults of all abilities to play sports is set to start this fall.
The project is a partnership between the city of Tyler and the Miracle League of Tyler. The all-inclusive field, which will be located at Faulkner Park, will have accessible bleachers, a concession stand, and restrooms to make sure everyone can participate.
Construction should start this fall and be completed at the end of summer 2025.
The Miracle League of Tyler has given over $1.16 million for the field and the city of Tyler is providing up to $500,000 from the Half-Cent Sales Tax fund. The Tyler City Council gave SCI Construction a $1,680,358 construction contract to complete the project.
"The Miracle League Field at Faulkner Park is a testament to what we can achieve when we come together as a community," said Director of Parks and Recreation Leanne Robinette. "We are deeply grateful to the Miracle League of Tyler for their generous contribution and ongoing commitment to this project. We look forward to seeing the smiles on the faces of those who will benefit from this inclusive and welcoming space."
