About

In Saint Lucia, La Resource Playing Field is a sports pitch serving the communities around Desruisseaux and Blanchard. The ground is known as a gathering point for local matches and training sessions, with teams from the surrounding area using it through the week. First-time visitors should expect a simple, open playing surface with room along the sidelines, rather than covered seating or facilities.

Sixty-two reviews have given it a rating of 4.2 out of 5, a solid score from a healthy number of voices. The field sits in the island's south-east, with Vieux Fort and Canaries among the nearer towns, while Castries, Gros Islet, Rodney Bay, Soufrière and Marigot Bay are reached by road across the island.

For anyone staying in the south, the playing field is part of the everyday sporting life of the district.

Callaloo, a leafy green stew, is cooked across the Caribbean in versions that differ from island to island, and Carnival parades are held across the region, some before Lent and others in the summer months. Green and hawksbill turtles nest on Caribbean beaches, and coral reefs support reef fish and spiny lobster. Sugar plantations worked by enslaved Africans shaped Caribbean societies from the seventeenth century onward.
