The DCSA organises sports and social events in the College and provides such amenities as slide projector, sewing machine and photographic darkroom. Darwin has its own boat club, tennis, squash, football, table tennis, mountaineering, cross country, cricket and other teams.
Members also have access to a modern ergo meter in College.
Croquet is played during the summer. Darwin does not as yet have its own squash and tennis courts, but permission has been obtained to use Queens' squash courts and Newnham's tennis courts. The College boat club has been permitted to use Pembroke's boat house. Darwin is fortunate to be situated on the river, and five punts are available for use by college members.
