After the formation of the Windsor Royals in 1955, the club looked for a permanent site to play baseball.

Originally, Crosby Park in Albion was planned to be the new ground for the Royals, but was rejected by the Brisbane City Council.

It was the home ground of the Queensland Rams for Claxton Shield games prior to the reformation of the ABL.

A progressive replacement plan for the lighting towers was implemented to bring Holloway Field up to the highest standard for night games.

After the completion of the Major League Baseball Opening Series at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2014, the foul poles that were fabricated for the event were relocated to Brisbane and erected at Holloway Field prior to the 2014–15 Australian Baseball League season.
