The first home ground of the club was Byford; eventually the local council granted the club use of Gwynne Park in Armadale. At this ground the First Team of the club, coached by Tibor Besci (an ex-Hungarian international) won its first season.[5]

The club's junior teams won first division in 1977.[5]

The Club's name later changed to Armadale Park Soccer Club and then to Armadale Soccer Club.[5]
