MIRACLE LEAGUE PLANS IMPROVEMENTS AT

THE MUNICIPAL PARK PLAYGROUNDThe Miracle League of Northampton Township PA and Northampton Township

have embarked on a new journey which involves making improvements to the

already popular playground at the Municipal Park on Hatboro and Bristol Roads in

Churchville. The mission of The Miracle League of Northampton Township PA, a non-

profit organization, is to enrich the community by providing education and social

development through high quality recreation facilities and programs for individuals

with special needs and their families.

In April 2012, the community celebrated the grand

opening of a baseball field and a multi-purpose field both uniquely designed with

special playing surfaces. The fields are located in the Municipal Park, adjacent to

the softball fields that are used by the Northampton Girls Softball Association. This

location helps create a feeling of inclusion for Miracle League athletes, who enjoy

participating in a sport just like every other kid.

This all volunteer organization once again is ready to make a miracle happen

and create an all-inclusive playground by enhancing the existing playground at

the Northampton Township Municipal Park. Working with Landscape Structures,

playground experts in Inclusive Play, the Miracle League Board of Directors has strategically planned improvements

that will welcome children and families of all abilities to learn, play and grow together.

Northampton Township applied for and received a $270,500 grant from the PA

Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Community Conservation

Partnership Program and another $50,000 grant from the Department of

Community Economic Development to assist in the funding of this $500,000+

project. The remainder of the funds will be matched through fundraising efforts.

If you would like additional information and a list

of all the equipment planned for the playground

or are interested in making a donation to support

the purchase and installation of new equipment

so that children can play together without experiencing physical or social barriers

visit the website at www.miracleleaguenhpa.org, or mail a check to Miracle League of

Northampton Township PA P.O. Box 453 Richboro, PA 18954-0453.

Questions? Call Nancy Opalka, Director of Parks and Recreation at 215-357-6800.

A miracle is often considered an extraordinary event in human affairs; a league is an association of persons brought together by a common interest, goal or cause. By definition the Miracle League is an association of people brought together to take part in extraordinary events in human affairs. This rationale rings true when speaking of the Miracle League of Northampton Township, PA.
