Sabina Park was originally a Pen (urban residence and adjoining land of a wealthy merchant, shopkeeper or professional),[2] part of which was eventually sold to the Kingston Cricket Club for their grounds.

[4] Shalman Scott, writing in the Jamaica Observer, claims that:[5] Sabina Park murdered her four-month-old child and in her deposition in the Half-Way-Tree court, admitted that she had killed her child- and proceeded to give her reason for doing so.

She was one of 17 slaves on Goat Island, a property also owned by Joseph Gordon, a Scottish planter who was given huge acreage of land in Jamaica after the restoration of the Monarchy in England, by King Charles II...Known ownership of Sabina Park Pen includes:[6] From 1880, Sabina Park was rented by Kingston Cricket Club from Mrs. Blakely, the then owner, for an annual fee of £27.

The Blue Mountains form a backdrop to the north, facing the George Headley Stand, with Kingston Harbour to the south.

This view is currently blocked by the Northern Stand, built as part of the ground's redevelopment for the 2007 Cricket World Cup.

The ground is now capable of hosting day/night matches and this is especially useful for the Caribbean Premier League where the Jamaica Tallawahs play their home games.
