Alfond Stadium at Harper-Shepherd Field is a baseball stadium in Winter Park, Florida. It is home to the Rollins Tars baseball and softball teams.[1] The stadium was home to the Winter Park Diamond Dawgs wood bat collegiate summer baseball league team from 2004 to 2015.[2]

The stadium is named for Harold Alfond, a longtime Rollins College booster. The land was donated it to the City of Winter Park in 1926 by local merchants James E. Harper and F.W. Shepherd.[1] Rollins obtained the property in 1933.[1]

Past renovations included the clubhouse in 1983[3] and in 2002; a new scoreboard in 2004; and updated lighting in 2012.[1] 2018 improvements include a FieldTurf infield; safety netting; covered batting cages; a JV locker room; and a newly paved parking lot with new lighting. 2019 renovations will include improvements to the stadium and clubhouse.[3]

In 2014 the site was considered for a new ballpark to host the Brevard County Manatees (Class A-Advanced; Florida State League) but the financial details didn't work out.[4]
