In 2012 the club merged with California, a youth football club established in 1975 in California in Berkshire, changing its name to Eversley & California. In 2013–14 they were Division One runners-up, but were unable to take promotion due to restrictions on use of the floodlights at the ground.

The ground was originally the home of California, who developed the site, which was reclaimed land, after receiving a Football Foundation grant of £666,556 in 2007. The ground opened in 2009, featuring a railed pitch and a 57-seat stand. The entire complex cost £2.1m. When floodlights were installed, their use was restricted to 15 October–1 April. However, this was later extended from 1 August–30 April.
