Arnos Vale Stadium, also known as the Arnos Vale Playing Field, was established in 1981, serving as one of the oldest stadiums in the country. Located in a scenic background in Arnos Vale, the stadium can hold up to 18,000 spectators.. The ground is equipped with floodlights, making it suitable for both day and night games.
Despite being one of the oldest stadiums in the world, it is equipped with modern amenities, including top-tier dressing rooms and comprehensive gym facilities. The stadium features two named ends – the Airport End and the Bequia End – and serves as a home ground for the West Indies national team.

A new ball helps the batters score runs in the powerplay; however, the surface slows down as the innings progress, making this one of the most challenging surfaces to bat on for the batters. The venue has hosted a number of international matches across formats, including ODIs and T20Is.
