Tanteen Recreation Ground is a cricket and football ground in St. George's, Grenada.
The area in which the ground is located was formerly swamp land, which was drained in 1905.[2] The ground has played host to public events, including a speech delivered by then President of Cuba Fidel Castro in August 1998.[3] Representative cricket was first played there in 1997, when the Windward Islands played Guyana in a first-class match in the 1996–97 Red Stripe Cup. A further first-class match was played there in 1998, before a gap of seven years before the next. The ground hosted the Windward Islands in one first-class match in 2005, two in 2006, and one in 2007.[4] In a 2005 match against the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands Deighton Butler took a hat-trick in the Leeward Islands second innings.[5] The ground has hosted a single List A one-day match in the 2006–07 KFC Cup between the Windward Islands and Guyana,[6] which the Windward Islands won by 6 wickets despite a century by Guyana's Royston Crandon (101).[7] Numerous women's representative matches have also been hosted at the ground.[8]
As a football venue, Tanteen Recreation Ground is the home ground of Grenada Boys' Secondary School FC.[9] It has played host to four international friendly matches for the Grenada national football team.[1]
