Play ground mostly use for cricket matches
One of most famous and old cricket stadium in Sri Lanka. Now use to host domestic and school cricket matches. Has to improve some facilities.
It was a great test cricket venue in 90s decade.
It was a popular test venue some tine back. It still has required infrastructure but seem lacking proper maintenance. It seems like abondoned property. Booking should be fone at Moratuwa Municipality Council. Parking is very limited.
This is a good cricket ground. But administration must be care regarding this place before situation get wors.
Suitable ground for girls. Privacy matters a lot
This is good play ground and plz repair ground .
Popular play ground near Moratuwa need to be repaired.
International cricket ground situated in moratuwa. Even many schools hold their sportsmeet there. But facilities are a bit old. Pavilion seating is also old, not modified upto current standards.
Anyhow situated at a very convenient location near katubedda junction by the side of galle road.
Good for everyone for the evening walks and exercise. Not soon after heavy rains.
The ground is ok. But the pavilions need a good facelift. Maintenance is very poor.
Anyone can use this ground anytime.. unless there is a big match going on
Field is in pretty good condition most of the time of the year. Have sheltered pavilion. Lacks toilet facilities.
Was an International cricket stadium
Now its not upto international standards
Played sri lankan 50th Test match at this venue and its vs west indies.
Had recent developments and this ground used by so many clubs schoools and by other organisations
Good playground for held annual school sportmeets. Also a good groud for practice cricket matches.
Apart from school cricket, this place is suitable for evening run. I do running there with my RaceRunner app.
The ground has traditionally favoured the batsmen. However, the pitch can break up and the ball then has a tendency to keep low. The first ever Test Match to be played at this venue was against Australia on the 8th of September 1992. Allan Border made 106 and Ian Healy 71 as the visitors scored 337 in the first innings and controlled the match thereafter. However half centuries from Aravinda De Silva and Hasan Tillekeratne ensured a draw for the home side.

An additional 2 acres were sold under its market value by another member of the family. The ground was named De Soysa Park and subsequently used mainly for Moratuwa Sports Club,Sebastianite CD and school competitions.
