Youth
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve Miracle Field Use Agreement for Prior Lake Athletics for Youth (P.L.A.Y.).
BACKGROUND:
At the January 18, 2023 work session, P.L.A.Y. presented to city council the possibility of
constructing a Miracle Field in Prior Lake. The Miracle League’s mission is to provide
opportunities for children with disabilities to participate in baseball or softball, regardless of their
abilities. This is accomplished by building a specialized facility to accommodate a wide range of
abilities. This idea was supported by city council.
A site at Thomas Ryan Memorial Park has been identified as the most suitable location for this
project, and confirmed by the Miracle League. P.L.A.Y. has received approval from the Miracle
League to use their design templates through an application process, and is currently in the
fundraising stage of the project.
This Use Agreement will be used to outline roles in the construction and ongoing operation of the
Miracle Field.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
P.L.A.Y. will be responsible for all construction and design costs (estimated at around $1
million), and ongoing maintenance of the field.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Motion and second as part of the consent agenda to approve the P.L.A.Y. Miracle Field
Use Agreement.
