History
Cove Rangers started planning to move from their old Allan Park home to Calder Park in the mid-2000s. The proposed move formed part of their unsuccessful pitch for Scottish Football League membership in 2008. Initially, the move was tied in with the New Aberdeen Stadium proposals, as Calder Park would also have served as a training facility for Aberdeen. Planning permission for this project was refused in August 2012, as Aberdeen City Council opted to examine other possibilities for development in the area.
Cove Rangers then pressed ahead with a new stadium scheme by themselves. Aberdeen City Council accepted the first stages of planning permission for Calder Park in November 2014. It is set to be ready for the start of the 2016–17 season. Cove Rangers left Allan Park in April 2015, having sold the ground to Scotia Homes. The club reached agreements to groundshare with four other clubs during the 2015–16 season.
As of July 2016 no construction work has been started on the new ground.
It is unclear what the stadium will eventually be called on its completion.
