History

The dream of having a Miracle Field in Tallahassee was born in 2006 when David Jones, President of the SportsAbility Alliance (SA - formerly Florida Disabled Outdoors Association), watched a Miracle League baseball game in St. Petersburg, Florida. With the help of the City of Tallahassee, Jim Wylie, past Lieutenant Governor of the Kiwanis and local Kiwanis Clubs, City of Tallahassee – Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Affairs, Leon County, sponsors and in-kind donations from Genesis Group, Sandco, and C.W. Roberts Asphalt and Paving, more than $400,000 was raised for the completion of the Miracle Field. In addition to the money, many man hours went into making the Miracle Field a reality, including the countless hours spent by SA Board Member, David Lowe, as the project coordinator. David Lowe worked in conjunction with the City of Tallahassee – Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Affairs staff and other partners to ensure the project was to be completed on time. On November 5, 2008, the Miracle Field was dedicated. The Miracle Field of Tallahassee is located at: James Messer Sports Complex, 2899 Jackson Bluff Road, Tallahassee, FL 32304.
