The construction of Phase One at Parkhurst has already had a ripple effect in the surrounding area. For example, Creg and Jacki Reid, who grew up in Texas and spent the last seven years in Colorado, relocated to Gloversville and opened the Tex-Mex restaurant Mountain Mama’s Cantina just around the corner from the field in June 2023. “Parkhurst Field definitely made it more appealing,” said Jacki of the decision to locate their business in Gloversville. “We probably would not have purchased the building if all that stuff had not been going on. It definitely pushed us to make that decision.” The couple is looking forward to connecting with the baseball venues. “We want our business to be successful enough that we’re able to give back to the community,” she said.
