In 2009, the Ilonka Elmont Foundation conducted a research into sports venues, sports needs and sports participation in Brownsweg. They inferred that Brownsweg needed a sports venue and planned to make one.[3] The construction was a joint project of Rosabel Goldmines, the Ilonka Elmont Foundation and the KNVB (Royal Dutch Football Federation).[4]
Constructed in 2010,[4] it was officially opened with a ceremony in 2012.[2] Unsuitable weather forced the inspection of the field to be rescheduled.[2]
The construction cost amounted to over 625,000 dollars in total.[4]
The complex contains a field with floodlights for competitive games, a cafeteria, a first aid room, storage space, two restrooms and a parking lot.[3]
