The Parkhurst Field dedication ceremony is in the books! Phase One is complete but there is still quite a bit to do to build out three more regulation fields! As of June 18th, congratulations were in order for Kelli Faville board on another great season at Parkhurst Field. At this time, it’s All-Star Season and Travel Ball Season at Parkhurst Field. The public is welcome/encouraged to come down and watch some quality baseball for the rest of the summer!

To celebrate the dedication ceremony, as well as the hard work, dedication and commitment of so many volunteers, a video was assembled showing the construction of the new Parkhurst Field from July 2022 through the first game on April 28, 2023. The Parkhurst Field Foundation thanked NYS, Fulton County, the City of Gloversville, the Parkhurst Board, GLL, Nicole Battisti, Kucel Contractors and everyone who made Phase One a reality!!

On June 13, 1906 - The Grandstands were freshly painted... Many have asked why the new Parkhurst Field is vintage green. Here is the answer...

The original grandstands were painted moss green with white trimmings during the week of June 13th, 1906. The only reference we have for what moss green was in 1906 was a hand painted postcard from that decade of the station in Johnstown. With the help of Benjamin Moore in Johnstown, their “Historical Collection” was used to determine the right custom mix. Parkhust Field thanks Paul Connelie and his crew for all their help in formulating, manufacturing and donating the perfect paint for our historic park!
