Warner Park Turns 100 🏏🇰🇳

One hundred years ago today, a single moment helped shape the heartbeat of sport, culture and community life in St. Kitts and Nevis.

On April 21, 1926, the foundation stone for Warner Park was laid by His Excellency Sir Eustace Fiennes, marking the beginning of a journey from plantation land to national landmark.

Officially opened in 1928 and named in honour of Sir Thomas Warner, the park was designed as a public recreation space—built for the people.

From early cricket and football in the 1930s, to Carnival, Labour Day celebrations and Independence events, Warner Park has always been at the centre of national life.

It has produced legends like Edgar Gilbert and Len Harris, and evolved into an international venue following its redevelopment for the 2007 Cricket World Cup.

In 2009, the Media Centre was renamed in honour of C. A. Paul Southwell, further cementing its legacy.

Today, as we celebrate 100 years, Warner Park stands as a symbol of unity, pride, and sporting excellence—with its story still being written.
