Gulf City Mall...

I mean Paradise Pasture.

Then in 1924 the SAFL opened a grandstand at Usine Ste. Madeleine and that became the main ground.

Usine is east of Sando towards Woodlands and Princes Town, there's an old sugar factory and golf course there.

Here is the history of Paradise Pasture (yeah there's a graveyard there) but it was a big estate at one time:

I haven't figured out where the actual grounds were - if the Naparima ground is it or if it got built over by residences.

edit:

apparently there are laws governing Paradise Pasture still on the books!!!
