Garrison Ground 2 was a cricket ground in Gillingham, Kent. The ground, which has also been known as the Royal Engineers Sports Ground and simply the Garrison Ground, was used by Kent County Cricket Club for first-class and List A cricket between 1937 and 1972 and was the home ground of the Royal Engineers Cricket Club until 1961.
The ground was located on Marlborough Road[1][2] on the edge of the area known as the Chatham Lines, an area of open space historically containing a number of military fortifications.[3][4] The site, which is now used as a recreation ground, is around 300 metres (980 ft) west of Gillingham High Street.[4]
