Bel Air To Be Home To Miracle League Baseball Field

BEL AIR, MD — A field for children with disabilities is being developed at Schucks Regional Park in Bel Air. The initiative is a partnership between Harford County Parks & Recreation and the Miracle League of Harford County.

The Miracle League is a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring children of all abilities have the chance to play baseball. It is a national organization that has a local chapter in Forest Hill.

Harford County Executive Barry Glassman announced that youth with disabilities would have a new place to play ball on a customized field on county land, speaking in his state of the county address in January.

The Harford Miracle League signed a memorandum of understanding with Harford County government recently that outlined the partnership.

The agreement, signed Feb. 12, stipulates that Harford Miracle League will fund and develop a specially adapted baseball field, while Harford County Parks & Recreation will offer programming that will broaden opportunities for those with disabilities.

“We are proud to partner with the nonprofit Miracle League on Harford County’s first baseball field for children with disabilities,” Glassman said in a statement this week. “Together we will help everyone have a chance to play ball.”
