BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Brevard County Florida Field of Dreams is a special complex designed especially for children and young adults with disabilities.

The $3 million, 5-acre sporting complex, designed especially for those with special needs, is currently in the planning stages. The Field of Dreams Sports Park will be a destination spot for families with special needs members who live throughout Brevard County – and beyond.

The park will be funded in large part through the generosity of individuals and corporate benefactors who understand the importance of serving this often underserved segment of our community.  The Field of Dreams Sports Park facilities have been made possible through a collaborative arrangement between Brevard County and the City of West Melbourne.

The Brevard Field of Dreams League will allow many special people to enjoy the thrill of active participation in the great American pastime, and other related sports.

“You can help to make this sports park a reality,” states the organization’s website, BrevardFieldofDreams.org.

“We have the plans, we have the land, we even have a builder willing to build the park at cost. We just need to raise enough donations to make this a reality.”
