Green Park is under the control of the Sports Department Uttar Pradesh.

The stadium was named after a British woman named Green who used to go horse riding there, and is nicknamed 'Billiards Table',[3] and also 'Woolmer's turf', after the late cricket coach and player Bob Woolmer who was born in McRobert Hospital opposite to the stadium.

It is located in the Civil Lines area in the north east part of Kanpur city near the banks of the river Ganga, which flows just behind the stadium.

India's first Test win over Australia in December 1959 was at the Green Park ground.
