The Welfare Centre Ground is a cricket ground in Rose Hall, Guyana.
The inaugural first-class cricket match to be played at the ground took place in March 1961, when Berbice played against a touring EW Swanton's XI.[1] British Guiana played Trinidad there in a first-class match in October of the same year.[1] Berbice played first-class matches there until the final of the 1976/77 Jones Cup against Demerara.[1] Between the 1973/74 Shell Shield and the 1985/86 Shell Shield, Guyana played five first-class matches at the ground.[1]
