Sabina Park, Cricket stadium in Kingston, Jamaica
Sabina Park is a cricket stadium in Kingston with two distinct ends, the Blue Mountains End and the Headley Stand End, featuring a total seating capacity of 20,000. The ground serves as home to major international matches and provides facilities for fans throughout the region.
The Kingston Cricket Club acquired the ground in 1890 and gradually transformed it into an international test cricket venue. By 1930, the site had become an established location for major cricket competitions.
The ground displays a mural of 19 accomplished Jamaican cricketers on its outer walls, honoring the nation's sporting legacy.
The ground was equipped with floodlights in 2014, allowing evening matches and greater flexibility in scheduling different cricket events. Visitors should expect matches at various times depending on the type of event being held.
The name may come from Magliano Sabina near Rome, but Shalman Scott reported in the Jamaica Observer that it recalls an enslaved woman owned by Joseph Gordon, father of national hero George William Gordon. Convicted of killing her four-month-old child, she was hanged and buried on the Liguanea Plain at the spot bearing her name.
