The Shakopee Lions Club has been working for several years to develop a Miracle Field. Initially, it was planned to be located in Lions Park. However, after receiving feedback from the community and the Miracle League, it was decided that Tapah Park would be a more suitable location.

The city had previously done rough grading at the Tapah site, anticipating a smaller diamond, and the proposed Miracle Field fits perfectly within this space.

A Miracle Field provides a platform for children with disabilities to play Miracle League baseball, regardless of their abilities, while fostering community support and sponsorship. The Miracle League's mission is to offer children with disabilities the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits of playing baseball, our National pastime, even though we cannot change or cure their medical conditions.

According to the agreement, the Lions Club will be responsible for raising the necessary funds to complete the development and construction of the facilities. The city will contribute $100,000 from park development funds towards the project. The Baseball Association will manage the league itself.

The Shakopee field will join similar fields either existing or are planned in Minnesota cities including Eden Prairie, Prior Lake, Lakeville, St. Cloud, North Mankato, Hibbing, Moorhead, and Woodbury. This will enable several cities to host games and tournaments.

The Lions have already raised funds through cash donations and donations in kind to meet the league's needs and move forward.

The Lions plan to complete grading and partial paving this year, with the final poured surface scheduled for spring 2025.
