Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are reportedly exploring a new financing route as part of their long-term vision for the club and its surrounding community. According to emerging reports, the Hollywood duo are seeking loan funding from the Development Bank of Wales to support plans for the construction of a new park at the Racecourse Ground.
The proposed project is understood to be aimed at enhancing the matchday experience while also delivering wider benefits to the local community. The park would form part of a broader redevelopment strategy around the historic stadium, reinforcing Wrexham’s status not just as a football club, but as a community hub. Sources suggest the development could include green spaces, fan-friendly areas, and facilities designed for year-round public use.
Reynolds and McElhenney have consistently emphasized sustainable growth since taking over the club, preferring structured financing models rather than short-term spending. Turning to the Development Bank of Wales aligns with that philosophy, offering access to locally backed funding while keeping the project rooted in Welsh economic development.
While formal approval has yet to be confirmed, discussions are believed to be ongoing, with feasibility assessments and planning considerations already underway. If successful, the project would mark another significant step in the owners’ ambitious transformation of Wrexham, following recent investments in infrastructure and squad development.
For supporters, the potential park represents more than bricks and mortar—it signals continued commitment to the town, the fans, and the future of the Racecourse Ground as a modern landmark for generations to come.
