Panama Grounds
In Panama, we play cricket in 4 grounds, all of which are mainly
football and baseball pitches- but that is no problem for us who
love ot play cricket. The 4 existing grounds are: Paraiso,
Diablo,The football ground of the University of Panama and the
Technological University of Panama Ground
Paraiso: Paraiso is the most famous ground in the history of
Panamanian cricket.The first games ever played in Panama were
played at Paraiso. It is a baseball ground, but is a very good
place to play cricket. This ground is located near the Panama
Canal and you can see the boats passing. This ground is 20
minutes drive from Panama City. The majority of the people that
live in that area are descendants of the former West Indian
cricketers. Every year the championship of our tournamment is
played at that ground due its long history

Diablo is a football ground, and is used by the Panamanian
national football team to practice. It iss 10 minutes from Panama
City.
University of Panama Ground: This is a football ground but with
a track and field course in its surroundings, so this is an oval
field. This ground is the most like a real cricket ground of
those played on in our tournamment. It is in the heart of Panama
City near the Social Security Hospital.
