The Miracle League of Fond du Lac
In February 2017, Fond du Lac City Council approved a resolution authorizing a Memorandum of Understanding between the city and Brooke Industries, Inc. to support a Miracle League of Fond du Lac Chapter. The Miracle League Complex will be constructed at Plamore Park, located at Division and Seymour streets.
Brooke Industries, Inc. embarked on a capital campaign to raise funds for the design and construction of a Miracle League complex in Fond du Lac. The complex will include a custom-designed field with a cushioned rubberized surface to allow players with wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility devices to safely move from base to base. The design also includes wheelchair accessible dugouts, wide walkways, a parking lot, sheltered concession stand with specialized seating, all accessible family restrooms, scoreboard, bleacher seating, and a water retention pond.

of the
Miracle League Complex
at Plamore Park
The primary focus is building a customized baseball field made of rubberized turf, fully accessible by wheelchair and other mobility devices. The field encourages athletic events specifically targeted towards accommodating individuals with disabilities.
Completely barrier-free, an all-inclusive playground will also feature a rubberized surface, designed for children with physical, cognitive, and sensory disabilities.
The third component of the complex is a multi-purpose area constructed to provide a broader population of individuals with alternative play and exercise opportunities (e.g. basketball, pickleball, volleyball, etc.).
With support from visionary donors, our goal is to create unique opportunities for all-inclusive universal play and recreation in our community.
A Miracle…
If we were to tell you about an organized baseball league, you might call it ordinary.
If we were to tell you the athletes have special needs, you might call it touching.
If you were to see them play, you would call it a Miracle!
