Woodley Cricket Field

The Leo Magnus Cricket Complex is a group of four cricket grounds located in the Van Nuys district of Los Angeles, California, United States.

The facility is also called Woodley Cricket Field(s) or Woodley Cricket Complex due to its location in Woodley Park. Former Jamaican test cricketer Franklyn Rose has said of the complex: "It has the best cricket field facilities in the US. There is no comparison."The cricket complex is named after Leo "Jingles" Magnus, a Jamaican cricketer who also played for the University Cricket Club and coached the Los Angeles Krickets, Sheenaway Serendipity Cricket Club and the Compton Cricket Club.In 1978, the Glendale Equestrian Center took over the Burbank-area Griffith Park Cricket Association grounds, which had been home to L.A. cricket via the Hollywood Cricket Club since 1933. An active West Indian cricket community obtained land in the Sepulveda Basin in 1977 and two fields at Woodley opened in 1980 (named the Clifford Severn and Ernie Wright grounds), with two more added in 1996 (the Jean Wong and John Marder grounds, both named for former Southern California Cricket Association presidents). The complex has a small stand, which can seat 50, and a clubhouse with bathrooms.
