MIRACLE LEAGUE BASEBALL – Spring baseball season 2026
Miracle League Baseball is played on the first fully accessible baseball field in New England. The field is located on the corner of Trout Brook Dr. and Asylum Ave. in West Hartford. Since 2012 hundreds of children with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities have been able to enjoy America’s pastime in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Spring and Fall seasons are offered for children ages 4-21 on the rubberized surface field that has no raised obstacles.
