The City of Mishawaka is hosting a Ribbon Cutting celebrating the Normain Miracle Park. The City’s Ribbon Cutting is scheduled to take place Saturday, July 18, at 11:00 am at Normain Park, with Mayor Dave Wood and other leaders proudly cutting the ribbon. The park is located at 200 E. McKinley Avenue in Mishawaka.
The City Mishawaka strives to be inclusive of every community member, and the new Miracle Field will be a substantial stride toward that goal. Officials have said that a Miracle League Field will be a more condensed, specially designed field allowing individuals of all ages with a physical or cognitive disability to play baseball.
“We want to make sure that this project will thrive after it’s built,” says Mishawaka Parks and Recreation Superintendent Phil Blasko. “We want this to positively affect all that have any type of disability so they can say, ‘I can play a sport.’”
During October 2023, Mishawaka’s Parks Foundation kicked off its fundraising campaign in hopes of raising $1.6 million for the first phase of the park’s renovation and improvements. Local non-profit agencies are also working with the city on the Miracle Field.
“This is going to help us engage in a whole new group of people we never met before, because we are going to have a program for them, a playground for them,” Blasko said. “It’s a lot bigger than the game of baseball.”
After the Ribbon Cutting, on July 25th, from 9:00 am to noon is Exploration Day at Normain Park so residents and visitors can admire the Pfiel Miracle Park, Lili’s Playground, and Splashpad!
The improvements of Normain Heights Park will be an incredible asset for the community and will support Mishawaka’s ambitious standards for its community’s quality of life. Please join the City of Mishawaka in celebrating Normain Parks Ribbon Cutting!
