History
The ground was first opened in 1947 to house Ruislip Manor F.C., who played there until the club collapsed as a result of financial difficulties in 2008, whereupon the lease for the ground was purchased by Wealdstone F.C.[4] Wealdstone moved into the stadium following 17 years of ground sharing with other clubs after leaving their Lower Mead ground in Harrow, 4 miles away.
The stadium has been slowly improved and expanded since then.[5]
In the summer of 2022 Watford F.C. Women agreed to play the upcoming season at Grosvenor Vale.[6]
