Cricket is a bat-and-ball game similar to baseball that is played on oblong fields with wickets instead of bases and a pitch to replace the mound. It is the world’s second most popular sport. The courts were designed and the pitches were built by the Triggers Colts Cricket League. www.hcp4.net/parks/john-paul-landing-park
