Harvey Stone Park & Pavilion (coming soon!)

The historic Harvey Stone Park & Pavilion is undergoing renovations that will turn the pavilion into a living-learning laboratory on the edge of campus surrounded by the beautiful sights and sounds of Carroll County nature. Stay tuned for more information on the plans for the upgraded, modernized pavilion, which will be available for rental when renovations are complete. The current park and pavilion was built in 1934 and named for Harvey A. Stone, superintendent of buildings and grounds for 48 years.

With more than 30% of McDaniel’s students participating in Division III intercollegiate athletics, availability is extremely limited during the academic year and will be subject to approval and coordination with the Intercollegiate Athletics department. Over the summer, we have many repeat camps and clinics hosted on campus, resulting in limited availability in those months. During this time, event planning is coordinated by Conference & Event Services.

Available facilities may include:

  • Athletics fields

    • Soccer Complex

    • Softball Park

    • Preston Field (Baseball)
