Paraiso: Paraiso is the most famous ground in the history of Panamanian cricket.The first games ever played in Panama were played at Paraiso. It is a baseball ground, but is a very good place to play cricket. This ground is located near the Panama Canal and you can see the boats passing. This ground is 20 minutes drive from Panama City. The majority of the people that live in that area are descendants of the former West Indian cricketers. Every year the championship of our tournamment is played at that ground due its long history
