The Parque del Este Hockey Stadium Estadio de Hockey sobre Césped del Parque del Este, is a field hockey facility on the Parque del Este complex, Santo Domingo Este, Santo Domingo Province, Dominican Republic.[1]
The stadium was built in 2001 for the 2003 Pan American Games[2][3] and hosted the field hockey competition for the games.[4] It also served as sub-headquarters for the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games mainly hosted in Cartagena, Colombia.[5][6] But in 2021 it was deemed unusable and required a reconstruction[4] because it was being used after the ending of the service life of ten years.[7]
It was remodeled in 2023, including a US$600,000 new flooring[8] to host the Central American and Caribbean Games when the Dominican Republic held seven sports from the regional games mainly hosted by El Salvador,[9] and according to the then president of the local federation, the facilities were meant to develop sports tourism.[10] This stadium will host the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games.[11]
