In March 2009 planning permission was granted to demolish Cefn's old stadium, Plaskynaston Lane, and replace it with a Tesco supermarket.[2] Delays to the beginning of construction put the project back by 12 months and the club moved into the new stadium in August 2010.[3]
Cefn Druids and Gresford Athletic announced in March 2023 that they had signed a multi-year agreement to groundshare at the stadium, effective immediately and during at least the 23/24 season.[4]
In March 2023, it was announced that Wrexham AFC Women would move to The Rock in order to obtain a Tier 1 license.[5]
