Located three miles north of the main University campus, Sports Park Weetwood proves excellent facilities for outdoor sport at the University of Leeds and is used by students alongside members of the local community.

Over the past 10 years £25m has been invested into new sports facilities at the University of Leeds and Sports Park Weetwood plays host to the University of Leeds Gryphons Sports Teams as well as Social Leagues. Every week hundreds of students train, receive coaching and play matches on these excellent facilities.

The facility also hosts the Leeds/Bradford MCCU cricket team, as well as being the venue for Yorkshire Cricket Club Academy, Junior and 2nd XI sides. It is also proud to be recognised as a Junior Regional Performance Centre for hockey.

This facility is the home base for the ‘Yorkshire CCC’ Academy. The facility is now used from U14 to the professional squads.

Over the last 4 years, the facilities have improved beyond recognition it now provides training and match facilities mirroring that of the first-class game. The extent of the improvement is such that both our Professional Men’s and Women’s teams use the grounds on a regular basis.

Sports Park Weetwood have offered us everything that a Tier 1 Girls’ Regional Talent club needs, the facilities are second to none with well-maintained grass pitches and changing rooms. The staff and grounds staff are fantastic with excellent communication throughout the week and work hard to keep the pitches looking their best all year round.

The facilities at Weetwood are brilliant and the staff are very accommodating to our needs. I was able to complete some of my key sessions in the build-up to the Rio Olympic Games on the grass at Sports Park Weetwood – which was the perfect surface for some fast running.

We have used Sports Park Weetwood over a number of years because of the quality of the facilities and how helpful and supportive the staff are. The main pitch is as good as any premiership rugby main pitch and it supports the way that England want to develop its best young talent.
