Can anyone identify an airport where gliders and powered aircraft use
the same runway? Do they use opposite traffic patterns? Any other
operational issues?

Brian and Gillian Spreckley used to launch their South African
operation from the same runway in M'mabatho that 707s and 747s used for
touch-and-gos. Glider patterns on one side, power on the other, and a
control tower. Sequencing was interesting and sometimes very noisy, but
far from impossible.
For High Country Soaring's operations on Ely, Nevada's runway 18/36,
gliders are staged alongside the overrun and taxiways for launch and
pulled into place with golf carts. It worked very well. Landings had
you stopping at the mid-field taxiway, and being whisked off by the
crew.
