Progress Park
History
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. The West Indies A cricket team played two List A one-day matches there in November 2010, against a touring Pakistan A side, while in the same year West Indies A also hosted the touring Zimbabweans at the Park for a Twenty20 match, which West Indies A won by 4 wickets due to an unbeaten 60 from Imran Khan. In September 2011, the Park played host to two Women's Twenty20 Internationals between West Indies women and Pakistan women. Prior to 2009, there were discussions from the Grenadan Government to rename Progress Park in honour of the late politician Ben Jones.
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. The Park is the home ground of Paradise FC International, who play in the GFA Premier League.
