After World War II, Kharchovyk Odesa (predecessor to Chornomorets) played in the stadium for two years (1945–46).

The stadium was in decline and there were attempts in the 1970s to demolish the ground, partially related to construction of the Odesa theatre of Music Comedy.

After complete reconstruction, two new stands were built instead original horseshoe-shaped and capacity was reduced to 6,000.

Since Ukrainian independence in 1991, the ground has been used by the following clubs: Chornomorets (including reserve and second teams), SK Odesa, Dynamo-SKA, Palmira, Dniester.

The stadium is also a venue for games involving amateur teams from Odesa and its Oblast.
