History Dorrien Gardens is named after James Dorrien, a local businessman and benefactor who donated the land on which the gardens were established.

In 1951, the City of Perth allocated the ground to Perth SC ahead of their first season in the first tier of Western Australian soccer.

The Dorrien Gardens Reserve was further developed in the 1970s when the local council resumed land from a series of properties on Cowle Street.

In 1987, Perth SC – a club formed from the merger of Azzurri, East Fremantle Tricolore and Balcatta Etna – chose Dorrien Gardens as their home ground.
