Queen’s Park Oval

Port of Spain


A fabulous place to watch a game of cricket, with drinks flowing and lots of enthusiastic support from spectators. The Oval is also used as the venue for fetes and concerts throughout the year, but especially at Carnival time. A small museum displays cricketing memorabilia and old photos; call to arrange a tour.
