Het Sahara Park Newlands Stadion, de thuisbasis van de Nashua Cape Cobras, ligt in het hart van de wijk Newlands, een liefelijke groene buitenwijk van Kaapstad. Het land hoorde oorspronkelijk bij het landgoed van de boerderij Mariendal, een huwelijksgeschenk voor Lydia Corrina. Een deel van de boerderij, waarvan het landgoed grenst aan het treinstation van Newlands, kwam beschikbaar om te huren. Toen de Cricket Club Western Province dit hoorde, in januari 1888, werd het Newlands Cricket Stadion officieel geopend. Het stadion is centraal gelegen en gemakkelijk toegankelijk met het openbaar vervoer of met de auto. Veel van de inwoners van Kaapstad zijn cricket fanatici, en hier worden nationale en internationale wedstrijden gehouden. Houd de pers in de gaten voor meer details.
