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. Rollins obtained the property in 1933.
Past renovations included the clubhouse in 1983 and in 2002; a new scoreboard in 2004; and updated lighting in 2012. 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.
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.
