Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park is a stadium located in Charleston, South Carolina. The stadium is named after Charleston's longest serving (and current) mayor, Joseph P. Riley, Jr.. The stadium replaced College Park.

Affectionately nicknamed "The Joe" by locals, Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park is primarily used for baseball and is the home field of the Charleston RiverDogs minor league baseball team and the men's baseball team at The Citadel, whose campus is located nearby. As such, it has also hosted the last 10 Southern Conference baseball tournaments and will also host the 2007 tournament. It was built in 1997 and seats 6,000 people.

The Citadel holds lifetime playing rights at the ballpark and has its own clubhouse in the stadium. This is because the land that the stadium is built on belongs to the school.
