Sabina Park became a test ground in 1930 and is also the home of the Kingston Cricket Club. The Park is located on South Camp Road in Kingston, this area is usually very dry because of the sustained heat by the sun and for many years the park was one of the hardest and fastest in the Caribbean. But in recent years the surface has slowed despite attempts to restore life by relaying it on more than one occasion.
In terms of size, Sabina Park was relatively small, but like other major grounds in the region it underwent a major renovation ahead of the 2007 Cricket World Cup, a process that was fraught with headaches and delays. The capacity was increased from 15,000 to 20,000, which is still 5,000 seats less than the Trelawny Multi Purpose Stadium on the North coast of Jamaica.
The spectacular Blue Mountains, (home of the world famous 'Blue Mountain Coffee') form a picturesque and spectacular to the north facing the George Headley Stand, with Kingston Harbour in the south.
Sabina Park's greatest moment in Test Cricket was the 365 not out made by Garry Sobers against the Pakistanis that stood for many years as the highest individual test score. Conversely it's worst moment was when England-West Indies Test in 1998 was abandoned on the opening day due to an appalling pitch endangering the players.
