The official opening of the centre was held in on 22 August 2009 with the Mayor of Blacktown City, Councillor Charlie Lowles joined by Chief Executive Officers from AFL NSW/ACT and Cricket NSW.

When the Wanderers started in 2012 the club used the Athletics Centre grandstand as temporary offices and the grassed middle of the field as their training pitch, with some pre-season games played on it.

In 2014, Western Sydney Wanderers began the process of building a centre of excellence, consisting of a training base, offices and their youth academy at Blacktown International Sportspark.

As part of the multimillion-dollar elite training base and academy, purpose-built grass playing fields, administration facilities, medical rooms and offices on the southern side of the precinct were built.

The Wanderers first W-League match was a 2-1 win vs the Newcastle Jets on Saturday 2 January 2021, with Rosea Galea scoring both goals for the home side.

In the late afternoon on the first day the ball was bouncing unpredictably from the fast bowlers and by the second morning the pitch surface was severely cracked and saw the footmark and batting creases worn down to bare dirt.

The Finch-Carter partnership easily eclipsed the previous Australian first class record of 456 set by openers Ernie Mayne and Bill Ponsford for Victoria in 1923–24.
