The Walker Cricket Ground is a trust-operated multi-sport ground at Southgate, in the borough of Enfield and the historic county of Middlesex, London, England. There are three cricket fields, cricket pavilions for two clubs. There are four outdoor tennis courts, and accommodation for rugby union, lacrosse, squash, racketball, hockey, junior-level football, and scout clubs.
The ground, previously Chapel Fields, is named after John Walker, the Middlesex player who founded the ground.[1] It was first used by the Middlesex County Cricket Club 1st XI in 1859, but had to wait until 1991 for its next county match, and until 1998 to become a regular Middlesex venue. The ground is used by Southgate Cricket Club and Southgate Adelaide Cricket Club.[1] Other tenants include Southgate Squash & Racketball Club, Southgate Rugby Club, Oakhill Tigers Football Club, Omonia Youth Football Club, Southgate Weld Tennis Club and Southgate Adelaide Hockey Club.[2]
