The Parks is a cricket ground situated off Fox Grove, Godmanchester, Huntingdonshire. The ground is bordered to the north and south by residential housing and to the east by the A14 road.
History Established between 1959 and 1972, the ground plays host to the home matches of Godmanchester Town Cricket Club. Huntingdonshire played two List A matches at the ground in the early 2000s, against the Yorkshire Cricket Board in the 2000 NatWest Trophy and the Gloucestershire Cricket Board in the 2002 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy, with both matches ending in five wicket defeats for Huntingdonshire. The county also played a single MCCA Knockout Trophy match at The Parks in 2001 against the Essex Cricket Board. Huntingdonshire soon after lost List A status and were excluded from the MCCA Knockout Trophy, but have continued to play in minor fixtures at the ground.
