Chewdin Park was considered by 1970 to have the finest cricket pitch in Jamaica.[1] The first representative match played on the ground came in the 1976–77 Gillette Cup in a List A one-day match between Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.[2] Four years later the ground played host to two first-class cricket matches 1980–81 Shell Shield, with Jamaica playing Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados.[3] A gap of 15 years followed before representative cricket returned to Chedwin Park, with the Leeward Islands playing Trinidad and Tobago in a one-day match in the 1996–97 Shell/Sandals Trophy. Between 1996 and 2005, Chedwin Park regularly played host to one-day matches in the Red Stripe Bowl; the 16th, and to date final, one-day match to be played at the ground was a tour match between Jamaica and the South Africans.[2] First-class cricket returned to Chedwin Park in 1997, with Jamaica playing 11 further first-class matches there until 2011, predominantly in the Regional Four Day Competition, with the exception of a match against Ireland in 2010.[3]
A murder took place at the ground in May 2010, which resulted in two police officers from the Jamaica Constabulary Force being charged with the murder of businessman Sheldon Daley.[4]
