Progress Park is a cricket and football ground in Grenville, Grenada.
History
[edit]The Park hosted its first representative first-class cricket match in the 2008–09 Regional Four Day Competition when the Windward Islands played Barbados. The following season the Park hosted a neutral first-class fixture between Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.[2] The West Indies A cricket team played two List A one-day matches there in November 2010, against a touring Pakistan A side,[3] while in the same year West Indies A also hosted the touring Zimbabweans at the Park for a Twenty20 match,[4] which West Indies A won by 4 wickets due to an unbeaten 60 from Imran Khan.[5] In September 2011, the Park played host to two Women's Twenty20 Internationals between West Indies women and Pakistan women.[6] Prior to 2009, there were discussions from the Grenadan Government to rename Progress Park in honour of the late politician Ben Jones.[7]
As a football venue, Progress Park has played host to two international friendly matches for the Grenada national football team, one in 2010 against Bermuda and another in 2017 against Martinique; both matches ended 2–2.[1] The Park is the home ground of Paradise FC International, who play in the GFA Premier League.
