Though the stadium originally had a natural grass playing surface, artificial turf was added in 2012. In 2014, another new stand was added at another end, replacing a temporary tubular structure. A total renovation of the stadium was completed in 2021. The renovation included a new west stand with a media room, dressing room and 1,730 capacity.
