The Amsterdam Mohawks have found a home at Shuttleworth Park.  After
being part of renovations within the baseball facility since 2003 that
totaled over $500,000, the Mohawks are now spearheading a $1.2 million
Capital Campaign that will overhaul the entire rest of Shuttleworth
Park. 

“Certainly the baseball stadium and the softball fields have come a long
way but over the years the rest of the park itself has become a little
outdated, overgrown with weeds and in need of some TLC.  While the
setting is gorgeous and the city tries to maintain it, there just aren’t
city monies to give the park the updates that it needs.  We are hoping
to do just that”, said Mohawks President Brian Spagnola, who is the
point person on the start of the project.
