As the oldest established rugby club in Northwich founded in 1907, Winnington Park RFC are situated in the valley of the River Weaver, the grounds are flanked by other sports facilities at Moss Farm and Hartford Golf Course and Driving Range. ECOLAB LIMITED, our Landlord and Sponsor form one boundary. The Pippins, a pleasant housing development, forms the other.
Two full-size floodlit pitches,a third slightly smaller pitch and a floodlit training area occupy the site.The first team pitch has a main stand (Wilf Platt Memorial Stand) to protect spectators from the elements and two newly constructed dugouts for the coaching staff and substitutes on matchdays. There is ample on site car parking (part tarmac / part gravel) for most fixtures but capacity can be exceeded on Sunday mornings when all available space can be in use for Mini & Junior training and matches.
The Clubhouse has changing facilities on the ground floor for up to 6 teams and match officials and there is a large bath and showers for all.
The first floor has a recently refurbished main bar and function room, a smaller lounge, refitted kitchen and excellent spectator toilet facilities. Training and games can be viewed from the comfort of the bars or in fine weather, the spectator balcony that runs the full length of the Clubhouse providing and an excellent vantage point across the first and second team pitches.
The Club has recently installed lift to the first floor which will be available for all spectators to use from the start of the 2024/25 season, further demonstrating the Club’s ongoing commitment to providing an inclusive experience for all who wish to use the facilities on offer.
We currently run three senior men’s teams on a Saturday with an occasional 4th team of Veterans. The Men’s 1st XV currently play at Level 6. We also have a strong Women’s team that play on Sunday’s along with the Junior and Senior Colts (with many Colts going on to feature in the senior men’s teams).
Mini & Junior’s (including 3 age groups for Girls) train and play on Sunday mornings. We are very proud to offer age group rugby in Northwich at every level from under 5s (Little Ruggers) right through to under 16s, placing WPRFC at the heart of the local community. We also share our facilities with associate members to the Club (hockey, Weaver Vale Cycling etc.) along with other community groups throughout the week. We pride ourselves on being a truly inclusive Club where everyone is welcome and we welcome all players of all abilities…
