In the Spring of 1948, Victoria High School students and staff raised funds to create a track and field complex to honour those that had served in the Second World War. Completed in 1949, the facility was known as Memorial Stadium.

Demolition of part of the Memorial Stadium began in August of 2020. Renovations to the school meant the north stands of the stadium had to be removed as part of the work. The memorial element of the stadium will be incorporated as part of the renovated facility and stadium renewal.
