Name history
Rugby league history
Whitwood Recreation Ground is a council-managed multi-pitch community sports facility in Castleford, offering separate rugby league, rugby union and football pitches. It was used by Castleford Tigers Women for three Women's Super League fixtures in 2018 against Bradford Bulls, Leeds and Featherstone Rovers, likely as an overflow venue to their usual Wheldon Road home; no rugby league use is recorded there before or after that single season, and no independent club or Wikipedia source corroborates this specific tenancy beyond Rugby League Project's own match data.
