Amini Park, Cricket ground in Boroko, Papua New Guinea
Amini Park is a cricket ground in the Boroko district of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, situated within the Bisini Parade sports complex. It has seating for around 2,000 spectators and includes facilities used for both training sessions and competitive matches.
The ground was established in 1956 and later named in 1983 to honor the Amini family, who played a notable role in promoting sports in Papua New Guinea. Over the following decades, it grew into one of the country's main venues for international cricket.
Amini Park is one of the few places in Port Moresby where cricket is experienced as a social gathering rather than just a game. Spectators fill the stands during matches, turning each event into a shared moment for the local community.
The ground is centrally located in Boroko and easy to reach from most parts of Port Moresby. Arriving early is a good idea during international matches, as the stands can fill up quickly.
