ROCK HILL OPENS MIRACLE PARK

By: Laurie Helms, Marketing Supervisor, Rock Hill Parks, Recreation & Tourism

Miracle Park is an inclusive park in Rock Hill providing people of all ages and abilities the opportunity to enjoy the park’s amenities and programming year-round. Phase one of Miracle Park opened on Sept. 18, 2021 to a large and enthusiastic crowd! Spanning 7 acres, phase one consists of multiple playground areas, sensory walls, a traditional baseball field, park office with concessions, and the centerpiece of the park – Rock Hill’s first Miracle Field! The park is operated, maintained, and programmed by the Rock Hill Parks, Recreation and Tourism (PRT) Department. Programming at Miracle Park complements and expands existing Therapeutic Recreation programming provided by PRT since 1970.

Athletic and non-athletic programs will be offered, beginning with the Miracle League of Rock Hill which debuted October 9 with 69 youth and adult participants and 85 registered volunteers. While the fall season is short – Saturdays in October – the league looks forward to the spring season, some travel, and playing other teams in the area! Miracle Park’s development has been led by the York County Disabilities Foundation in partnership with the City of Rock Hill and Winthrop University and supported by numerous volunteers and donors. The park’s opening was the culmination of four years of planning, fundraising, and construction. Future phases of the park include a second Miracle Field, additional fields (baseball and multi-purpose), a fishing pond, a mini golf course, a retail store, and an NFL Play 60 project funded by the Carolina Panthers. The York County Disabilities Foundation will continue to support the development of the park. Miracle Park is located at 1005 Eden Terrace, Rock Hill, SC. The park is open dawn to dusk with the park office open Mon. – Fri. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Learn more at cityofrockhill.com/prt.
