A year later, lights for rugby use were installed and in 1959 the clubhouse was extended – the current lounge. Sandal Hockey club moved to the ground in 1961 and, in 1965, a new tennis pavilion and changing rooms were built for £7,000. The addition of new sports prompted a change in the club name to Wakefield Sports Club (College Grove) Limited. £22,000 was spent in 1972 on two squash courts, rugby baths and changing rooms. Wakefield Rifle and Pistol club joined in 1975 and an additional two squash courts and rifle and pistol ranges were built at a cost of £36,000. Wakefield RFC's successful John Player cup run in 1976 saw the addition of temporary stands and record rugby crowds of 3,500. The rugby club mounted advertising boards around the rugby ground in 1977. A refurbishment of the club house took place in 1979 and, two years later, a glass-backed squash court and central heating were added at a cost of £36,000. In 1981/2, Community Industry helped upgrade the rugby terracing. In November 1986, Wakefield RFC switched on their new floodlights with a game against Moseley. Between February and November 1987, the rugby club converted a redundant squash court into two new rugby changing rooms, also adding a medical room, weights/gym and referee's rooms at a cost of £35,000, covered in part by a RFU loan repayable over 10 years and a £4,000 Sports Council loan repayable over 5 years. Wakefield Cricket Club folded in 1989 leaving the way open for the hockey club to install a sand-based artificial pitch and for the rugby club to leave the floodlights in place all year round; previously they had to remove the ones on the overlapping cricket side of the ground during the cricket season. In 1993, Bill Rhodes, a former Wakefield RFC player, left a bequest to the club, which led to the Rhodes Pavilion, a portakabin structure, being added, functioning as an office and hospitality area for the rugby club. A few years later, a second portakabin structure, the Fleur de Lys pavilion, was built above the car park behind the rugby posts at the Smirthwaite end of the ground. This included a viewing balcony together with a kitchen and small bar. In the late 1990s, the rugby club added temporary tip-up seating on the hockey side of the rugby field. In 2002, the hockey club replaced the sand-based surface with a state-of-the-art water-based pitch and added a multi-use games area suitable for five-a-side football.
