Next Monday, kids who probably never thought they’d play baseball will get to step up to the plate when Montgomery County Parks and the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation officially opens a new ball field for special needs kids. Called the Washington Nationals Miracle Field, the field is set to open Monday at the South Germantown Recreational Park with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

The field is designed for children with mental or physical disabilities who want to play baseball. It includes a cushioned synthetic turf that allows children using wheelchairs and walkers to “run” the bases without fear of injury.
