BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
The Billings Parks and Recreation Department would like to recognize the following generous sponsors who have donated towards the Landon’s Miracle Field Grand Opening.
After years of planning, collaboration, and fundraising, the Landon’s Legacy Foundation and Billings Parks and Recreation are proud to announce the Grand Opening of Landon’s Miracle Field at Poly Vista Park, Billings’ first Miracle League Baseball Field! This special needs baseball field is built with a custom-designed rubberized turf field that accommodates wheelchairs and other adaptive equipment. This phase of development has also provided important park improvements, laying the groundwork for future fully accessible park features. Most notably, it has created the opportunity to provide programming to serve children and adults who suffer from physical or mental disabilities which excludes them from other baseball leagues.
The Grand Opening will take place on Wednesday, August 17th at 5:00 pm. This event would not have been possible without the support of the following community sponsors:
Grand Slam Sponsor ($5,000):
· Bob Smith Motors
Triple Sponsor ($1,000):
· Visit Billings
