The ground has an eight-lane running track which was originally paid for by Lever Brothers in the 1920s but has since undergone an upgrade. It is the home to a number athletics clubs. It was featured in the film Chariots of Fire and represented the Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir. Some schools across the area, such as St John Plessington, use the facilities for their PE lessons
