Parking Rules and Accessible Spaces

Parking Rules and Accessible Spaces

Published sources identify accessible parking at Riley Park, but do not give its location or the number of accessible spaces. Santee Cooper Country’s listing also identifies an accessible entrance and restroom.

The City’s Riley Park pages do not specify accessible-parking locations or counts. If you need to know where accessible spaces are, or how to approach them, contact Parks and Recreation before heading to the game. The City’s general parks listing likewise does not specify a parking entrance, parking hours, restrictions, or a visitor parking lot.

What May Change on Event Days

What May Change on Event Days

Parking arrangements may be relevant on game and event days, but the City does not publish visitor parking rules or lot capacity for Riley Park. A City zoning-board staff report says undeveloped land on the property is used for game or event parking, or is farther from park facility improvements; it does not set out visitor rules or capacity.

The stadium hosts University of South Carolina Sumter Fire Ants baseball, Morris College Hornets baseball, and Sumter P-15’s American Legion Baseball, as well as tournaments, special events, and community activities. Check the City’s event listings for the schedule before making plans, and contact Parks and Recreation if you need specific parking guidance.
