Buffalo Park superseded the Jan Smuts Ground in East London as Border's main home ground in the 1987–88 season. It has hosted one Test match, in October 2002, and hosted a number of One Day Internationals.
It was also known as Mercedes-Benz Park, thanks to sponsorship from the German motor manufacturer.
