Derwent Park, Rugby league stadium in Workington, England.
Derwent Park is a rugby league stadium in Workington, England, with a grass pitch and stands arranged on different sides of the playing area. A speedway track runs around the pitch, making the venue suitable for motorcycle racing events as well.
The stadium opened in 1956 as the home ground of the local rugby league club and quickly became the main sporting venue in town. Over the following decades it hosted many matches and gradually became part of everyday life in Workington.
Derwent Park has been home to Workington Town Rugby League Club for decades and remains a meeting point for supporters across the region. On match days, the stands fill with local fans who have followed the club through many seasons.
Parking is available close to the ground, and the venue is accessible for visitors with reduced mobility. On match days it helps to arrive a little early to find a good spot in the stands before they fill up.
In 1965 the ground recorded one of its highest ever attendances during a match that drew attention well beyond the town. Fans who know the club's history still regard that day as one of the most memorable the venue has ever seen.
