Sharks on the Playground
Thursday, 6 October 2022
The Playground has recently become a training ground for Darlington Mowden Park Sharks. The Sharks are the leading Women's Rugby side in the North East, and the region's sole representatives in the Allianz Premier 15s.

Thanks to investment by the RFU and partnership the Sharks we have use of a set of portable training lights for Rugby and Hockey training.

Mark Bedworth OD, Director of Sport said “Our partnership with the Sharks is just one of many relationships we have with top-class & community sport across the North East. From hosting the North East Pentathlon Hub, Durham City Hockey, various netball sides, training camps for The Falcons U18s, Durham City of Cricket and community swimming lessons - we are a real hub for sport in the North East.”
