Foursquare Park is a cricket ground in Highland, Barbados.

History

As a result of the upgrading of the Kensington Oval for the 2007 Cricket World Cup, Pickwick Cricket Club were forced to vacate their historic home. The club developed a new homeground on land donated by Sir David Seale, the owner of the Foursquare Rum Distillery, in Highland, Saint Philip. The ground was opened in October 2009 by David Thompson, the Prime Minister of Barbados.[1] Four months later, the ground held two first-class cricket matches in the 2009–10 Regional Four Day Competition, with Guyana playing Jamaica, and the Leeward Islands playing Trinidad and Tobago.[2]
