History

Heritage Park opened in 1983 and primarily served as a minor league baseball stadium. It was home to the Albany-Colonie A’s, the Albany-Colonie Yankees, and the Albany-Colonie Diamond Dogs. Since the Diamond Dogs left in 2002, the facility has been without any tenants. Although there has been no regular maintanence, the stadium still stands just west of the Albany International Airport. The stadium was supposed to be razed to make way for a new nursing home, but the plans fell through when it was discovered that the property had became too valuable. It was the namesake of the Diamond Dogs’ mascot, “Homer the Heritage Hound”.
