Keller now has a baseball field for children and young adults of all ability levels to play baseball.

The Miracle Field at Keller Sports Park will be used primarily for Miracle League Baseball games for six Saturdays during the fall and spring seasons.

Two-minute impact

The Miracle League of Keller is a nonprofit organization that gives children and young adults with cognitive and physical disabilities an avenue to play baseball. Executive Director Stephanie Heady said the organization encourages inclusion, friendship and creating a community.

Heady said the Keller league was formed in January 2024, but leagues have been organized in a number of cities since April 2000. Heady said the Miracle Field in Southlake inspired her and her husband to bring the same structure to Keller.


“My husband is involved in the [Keller Youth Association], and I’ve worked in special education and physical education,” Heady said. “My husband mentioned [to city officials] while you all are thinking about redoing the park, we should also make one of those fields usable for everyone of all abilities. Thankfully, the city voted yes on that.”

Rachel Reynolds, the communication and public engagement manager for the city, said Miracle Field was part of the overall construction cost for Keller Sports Park. Reynolds said this part of the $40 million expansion is being paid through the Keller Development Corporation.

“The Miracle Field at the Keller Sports Park represents more than just a game; it embodies Keller’s commitment to being Texas’s most family-friendly city,” Mayor Armin Mizani said in a statement. “We are deeply grateful to all the volunteers who have helped and will continue to help create unforgettable memories to these children and their families.”

Looking ahead


While the Miracle Field will prioritize the league’s play, Reynolds said the field will also be available for private rentals on days the league isn’t using it.

The city approved updates to Keller Sports Park’s user agreement during a regular board meeting Sept. 2, which opened Keller Sports Park fields for private rentals by associations, residents or nonresidents starting Oct. 1. Residents will pay a $50 fee per hour, and nonresidents will pay $150 per hour on grass fields. Residents will pay $150 per hour, and nonresidents $250 per hour on synthetic fields, according to city documents.

Heady said the first Miracle League game will be Sept. 20. Volunteers interested in assisting with the games can sign up online.

“Whether it’s holding their hands and helping them bat or just cheering them on the whole way around the base, it’s amazing to watch these kids be out on a field and feel like they are the star of the show for the day,” Heady said.
