College Park was home to the Charleston entry
in the South Atlantic League for many years before the opening of
Joseph Riley Park
in 1996. The park features a covered wooden grandstand made up mostly
of benches. And there are some individual box seats that actually sink
below field level. The structure of the park does not look very solid,
so it's little wonder why a new park was built. Apparently the park
is still used by The Citadel as a practice facility. It seems unlikely
that College Park sees many games these days, mainly because of its location
in a residential area away from the downtown.
