[2] An active West Indian cricket community obtained land in the Sepulveda Basin in 1977[4] and two fields at Woodley opened in 1980 (named the Clifford Severn and Ernie Wright grounds), with two more added in 1996 (the Jean Wong and John Marder grounds (now under Los Angeles Cricket's, a 501 (c)(3), guardianship), both named for former Southern California Cricket Association presidents).

[2] In 1997, Woodley hosted the Jamaican team (featuring Jimmy Adams and Franklyn Rose) and in 1999 hosted a List A match between an India A side (with VVS Laxman) against an Australia A side (with Brett Lee, Adam Gilchrist, and Andrew Symonds), which attracted a crowd of 5,000.

The complex is frequently used for United States of America Cricket Association trials.

The first American College Cricket west-coast regional championship took place at Woodley in 2010.

This was the first time an ICC WCL divisional event had been played in the United States.
