Newlands is regarded as one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the world, being overlooked by Table Mountain and Devils Peak. It is close to Newlands Stadium, which is a rugby union and football venue.
The grounds official name is Sahara Park Newlands, acknowledging a commercial sponsorship arrangement. However, South African, and other cricket fans, continue to call the ground by its historic name, simply Newlands.
Over the past five years numerous changes have been made to the ground. This has slightly taken away from its former splendor. Large portions of the grass embankments have been replaced by pavilions increasing the seating capacity to 25,000.
Newlands is one of the few cricket grounds in South Africa that tends to favour spinners. Most grounds tend to favour pacemen or batsmen, but the Western Cape has had a history of having very good spinners, a recent example being Paul Adams.
