Turfhall Park was a cricket ground in Cape Town, South Africa.
History[edit]
The Western Province cricket team first played first-class cricket at the ground against Natal in the 1975–76 Stellenbosch Farmers Winery Trophy. The ground played host to Western Province in a further two first-class matches in 1976, before hosting them in 1978 in the final first-class match to be played at the ground.[1] Cricket is no longer played at Turfhall Park, with a series of softball pitches replacing the cricket ground.[2]
