A Historic Home of Baseball in Sumter
Riley Park is one of Sumter’s most beloved athletic landmarks — a historic baseball stadium first opening its gates in 1934 that continues to bring the community together around America’s favorite pastime.
Located at Church Street and DuBose Street in the heart of Sumter, Riley Park has witnessed nearly a century of baseball — from legendary American Legion rivalries to collegiate competition and professional minor league play.
Today’s Riley Park
Now a newly renovated, 2,000-seat stadium, Riley Park continues its baseball tradition as a home field for:
- University of South Carolina Sumter Fire Ants baseball
- Morris College Hornets baseball
- Sumter P-15’s American Legion Baseball
Its upgrades and rich heritage make Riley Park both a functional venue for competition and a living celebration of Sumter’s baseball history.
