YORK COUNTY, SC (WBTV) – Members of the York County Board of Disabilities Foundation announced Tuesday they have raised roughly half of the needed funds to construct what’s being called a “Miracle Park.”

Board members Warren Norman and David Williams started with the idea of building a Miracle Field in Rock Hill. A miracle field is a baseball field designed specifically for people with special needs. Then they took their idea a step further.

“There’s nothing like this, even close, in the United States,” Norman said.

The park, that’s being built at Winthrop Park off of Cherry Road, will include two Miracle Fields, two multi-purpose fields, a special needs playground, and a café that will employ people with disabilities.

A new league has formed in Rock Hill.

Leaders from Winthrop University and the city of Rock Hill have teamed up with a York County foundation to build a new sports park for athletes who often can’t join a sports team: children and adults with disabilities.

A new ‘world-class’ $6 million sports park is about to be built in the heart of Rock Hill.

Miracle Park will be the first of its kind for the Charlotte region – a park and sports facility specifically designed and built for children and adults with disabilities.

A non-profit organization in York County is trying to build a one of a kind outdoor park designed specifically with people with disabilities in mind.

The so-called Miracle Park is a dream of the York County Disabilities Foundation. Last week, the foundation presented the idea to Rock Hill’s City Council, pushing the project forward.
