Description:
The Whitehaven Recreation ground was as its name suggests originally the playing fields for the local coal miners dating back to Victorain times. It was an enclosed field with one wooden stand opened in 1933. Over the years the Recreation Ground hosted both rugby and professional soccer games .
The Recreation Ground in its current form was built in 1948 to enable the newly formed Professional Rugby League club to play in the Rugby Football league.
The ground now has terracing on 3 sides with one end of ground (Kells end) covered. The old wooden grandstand was demolished in 1995 and new modern construction the B&H Stand seating 556 was built to replace it.
