Il a été dessiné par l'architecte Albert Coulier et la société Apollo Velodrome Systems. « Forest City », soit la « ville des forêts », est l'un des surnoms de la ville de London. Le bâtiment, construit en 1963 et connu sous le nom de London Gardens, est à l'origine l'aréna (ou patinoire) de l'équipe de hockey sur glace junior des Knights de London. En 1994, le bâtiment est entièrement rénové et rebatisé le ; il accueille alors concerts et spectacles sportifs. Ce n'est qu'en 2005 que le lieu, alors désaffecté, est reconverti en vélodrome. Il est le seul vélodrome couvert de la province de l'Ontario, et l'un des quatre vélodromes couverts en Amérique du Nord. Sa piste, d'une longueur de 138 mètres avec une inclinaison de 50 degrés dans les virages, est la piste permanente la plus courte du monde.

It is one of two velodromes in Ontario and one of five indoor cycling facilities in all North America. The Forest City Velodrome is the shortest permanent velodrome in the world, measuring 138 metres with 50-degree bankings and 17-degree straights. The Forest City Velodrome runs several programs designed to encourage recreational cycling and develop competitive cyclists. Learn to ride programs introduce new riders to track cycling. Organized drills help cyclists hone their skills. Frequent recreational sessions give riders of various skill levels time to ride on the track for fun, fitness and training. Periodic race nights develop racing skills and give spectators the chance to learn about and enjoy track cycling events. In 2013, the track hosted the Ontario Provincial Track Championships. The building that is now called the Forest City Velodrome has gone through many alterations over the years. One of its more famous moments took place in February 1968 when Johnny Cash proposed to June Carter on stage during a performance.
