Kensington Oval Barbados

Kensington Oval is Barbados’ oldest cricket ground having been established in 1882 when Pickwick Cricket Club leased 4 acres of pasture land from Kensington Plantation and started to develop it as a cricket ground with a clubhouse. In 1914 the Barbados Cricket Committee the forerunner of current Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) bought the Oval but continued to allow Pickwick to lease the ground until 2004. With significant investment from the BCA the ground was expanded and upgraded over the years and by 2004 had grown to just over 7 acres. The field was surrounded by stands with a seating capacity of 14,500 plus a players pavilion and media centre and the Oval had been used for events other than cricket such as soccer, hockey and other field sports pageants cultural events and concerts.
