Crofton offers a wide range of sporting and recreational facilities for all ages and interests.

At the heart of the village is The Sidings, a large open space with several football pitches and a fully enclosed cricket field. The site regularly hosts local and amateur sporting competitions. A modern children's play area is also located at the top of the Sidings, providing a safe and engaging space for families.

The Community Centre features an all-weather, floodlit football pitch and a well-equipped gym, making it a hub for year-round fitness and sport.

Just outside the village are Walton Country Park and Anglers Country Park, both offering scenic, accessible walking trails in beautiful natural surroundings.

For cycling enthusiasts, the village is intersected by the Wakefield Wheel and WoW (Wakefield on Wheels) cycle routes, providing excellent opportunities for both leisurely rides and more challenging outings.
