  Tanteen Recreation Ground is a cricket and football ground in St. George's, Grenada.
  
  ## History
  
  The area in which the ground is located was formerly swamp land, which was drained in 1905. The ground has played host to public events, including a speech delivered by then President of Cuba Fidel Castro in August 1998. Representative cricket was first played there in 1997, when the Windward Islands played Guyana in a first-class match in the 1996–97 Red Stripe Cup. A further first-class match was played there in 1998, before a gap of seven years before the next. The ground hosted the Windward Islands in one first-class match in 2005, two in 2006, and one in 2007. In a 2005 match against the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands Deighton Butler took a hat-trick in the Leeward Islands second innings. The ground has hosted a single List A one-day match in the 2006–07 KFC Cup between the Windward Islands and Guyana, which the Windward Islands won by 6 wickets despite a century by Guyana's Royston Crandon (101). Numerous women's representative matches have also been hosted at the ground.
  
  As a football venue, Tanteen Recreation Ground is the home ground of Grenada Boys' Secondary School FC. It has played host to four international friendly matches for the Grenada national football team.
