Identity and location
St George’s Park is a cricket stadium on Park Drive in central Gqeberha, South Africa. Cricket South Africa’s stadium directory lists the venue as “St George's Park, Park Drive, Gqeberha Central, Gqeberha, South Africa”; an official Cricket South Africa ticket listing gives the fuller event address as 20 Park Drive, Gqeberha 6001. These are the most useful location labels for a sports-information directory.

Cricket significance
The ground has a long connection with organised cricket in the city. CSA records cricket in the city as early as 1845 and says the Port Elizabeth Cricket Club was formally established in 1859. On 12 March 1889, St George’s Park hosted the match generally recognised as South Africa’s first official Test, with both sides fielding eleven players. This provides a defensible historic identifier without relying on unsupported venue statistics.
CSA’s stadium directory independently describes St George’s Park as a historic Gqeberha venue renowned for hosting South Africa’s first official Test in 1889.

Current cricket context
For contemporary directory users, St George’s Park is also a professional short-format venue. The official SA20 site identifies it as the home of Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the Betway SA20 era and places the stadium in central Gqeberha. That confirms the franchise association and T20 competition context, but does not imply a particular fixture, squad, or current selection on the working date.
The venue’s identity therefore spans international cricket history and an active domestic franchise setting: record the ground under its established name, while keeping sponsor labels and event-specific details separate unless a current organiser source confirms them.
