Jack Critchfield Park is a stadium in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. It is primarily used for baseball and hosts the Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania college baseball team. It was the home of the Slippery Rock Sliders of the Frontier League in 2007. The Sliders played a partial home schedule in 2007, then left Slippery Rock to become a full-time road team in 2008.

When the Sliders began their season in 2007, Jack Critchfield Park became the first baseball stadium to be utilized for minor league baseball in Butler County in over fifty years.
