Heritage Park opened in
1983 and primarily served as aminor league baseball stadium. It was home to the Albany-Colonie A’s, theAlbany-Colonie Yankees , and theAlbany-Colonie Diamond Dogs . Since the Diamond Dogs left in2002 , the facility has been without any tenants. Although there has been no regular maintenance, the stadium still stands just west of theAlbany International Airport . The stadium was supposed to be razed to make way for a newnursing home , but the plans fell through when it was discovered that the property had become too valuable. The contents of Heritage Park were sold at auction in fall 2005. It was the namesake of the Diamond Dogs' mascot, "Homer the Heritage Hound".Tenants
