498 SUMMIT AVENUE
Newman Park has been home to the Catawba College Indians since 1926, with the grandstand being erected in 1934. The picturesque ballpark, which seats approximately 2,500 fans, is the third oldest in the state of North Carolina that is still in operation. Recent improvements at the baseball park include the new press box and concession stand that were erected in 1996. In 2004, a new 18-foot outfield wall was erected.
Newman Park is named for the late Dr. H.H. Newman of Salisbury who was interested in and helped to promote a varied athletic program at the College, and served as athletic team doctor 1925-47.
In 2022, major renovations were completed on the ballpark, including the installation of new artificial turf, dugouts, fencing, and lights.
