Ground facts
| Opened | 1989 (This is an athletics/multi-sport stadium (synthetic track, floodlit), not a dedicated rugby ground. No rugby league club could be confirmed as tenant -- Whitehaven RLFC and the area's amateur clubs (Hensingham, Kells) all have separate, documented home grounds elsewhere in the town, so the two matches on file appear to have used the stadium's infield as a neutral or occasional venue rather than reflecting any club's regular home.) |
| Home club | no confirmed rugby league tenant; operated by the Copeland Stadium Trust with the Cumbria Academy of Sport |
| Games hosted (rugby league, on record) | 2 |
| Top recorded crowd | 340 |
| Floodlights installed | yes |
| Surface | synthetic (athletics track with artificial infield) |
| Years used | 2014–2016 |
| Location | Whitehaven, Cumbria |
