On July 28, 2018, HFX Wanderers FC fielded an Atlantic Selects team to play a friendly against Fortuna Düsseldorf's under-21 squad at Wanderers Grounds. The Atlantic Selects won on penalties after a 2–2 score in regulation time. The official attendance was 4,809.{{Cite news|url=http://thechronicleherald.ca/sports/1587151-wanderers-win-shootout-thriller-over-fortuna-dusseldorf|title=Wanderers win shootout thriller over Fortuna Dusseldorf|work=The Chronicle Herald|date=July 28, 2018|last=Palov|first=Willy|access-date=July 28, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180729050208/http://thechronicleherald.ca/sports/1587151-wanderers-win-shootout-thriller-over-fortuna-dusseldorf|archive-date=July 29, 2018|url-status=dead}}

The general admission stands are commonly known as The Kitchen, a reference to "kitchen party", which is a common term in the region for an informal and well-attended house party.

The stadium's design allows for it to be expanded as required for future growth.{{Cite web|url=http://hfxwanderersfc.canpl.ca/stadium-profile|title=Stadium Profile|date=May 25, 2018|website=hfxwanderersfc.canpl.ca|publisher=HFX Wanderers FC|access-date=June 10, 2018|archive-date=June 12, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612142021/http://hfxwanderersfc.canpl.ca/stadium-profile|url-status=live}} Many structures are built out of shipping containers, which is an economical and flexible building option, but it also demonstrates a connection with Halifax's history as a port city. Past modifications include the addition of a patio area below The Kitchen, a premium cornerside area in the southwest portion, the installation of 18 separate entry points to maintain health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic, a new media room installed to replace the camera platforms which were damaged in Hurricane Fiona, and a deployable giant screen.

The Wanderers Grounds is city property, and was leased to the Wanderers for a three-year test project in 2018, with the club's intention being to create a permanent stadium, should the club and league prove to be a fitting primary tenant for the site. The lease was renewed for another two years in 2021, to expire in April 2024.{{Cite web |last=Jacques |first=John |date=2021-10-26 |title=Halifax Municipality Extends Land Agreement With HFX Wanderers |url=https://northerntribune.ca/halifax-wanderers-grounds-extension/ |access-date=2023-05-04 |website=Northern Tribune |language=en-US}} In September 2023, Derek Martin formally presented to Halifax city council, detailing a plan for the city to build a permanent stadium at the Wanderers Grounds. The proposed stadium would have a modular design, an initial capacity of 8,500 people, and an artificial turf which would increase its usability for other events. Including renovations to the surrounding landscape, the estimated cost to the city would be $40 million, and the Halifax Wanderers offered to sign a 30-year lease as a means of repayment.{{Cite web |date=14 September 2023 |title=Halifax's professional soccer team pitches city on $40-million stadium |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/halifax-s-professional-soccer-team-pitches-city-on-40-million-stadium-1.6967332 |access-date=5 October 2023 |website=CBC News}} The proposal is under consideration.

The shape of the crest takes inspiration from the Halifax Citadel, located near the club's stadium. The crest includes the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge, which connects the Halifax Peninsula with Dartmouth, and an anchor to represent the Atlantic Ocean and Halifax Harbour.{{Cite web|url=http://hfxwanderersfc.canpl.ca/emblem-inspiration|title=Emblem Inspiration|date=May 25, 2018|website=hfxwanderersfc.canpl.ca|publisher=HFX Wanderers FC|access-date=June 10, 2018|archive-date=June 12, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612140340/http://hfxwanderersfc.canpl.ca/emblem-inspiration|url-status=live}}

The official club colours are navy, grey, and cyan (branded by the club as "harbour blue", "naval grey", and "aqua ocean"). These colours symbolize the night sky, the Royal Canadian Navy, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Other supporters groups affiliated with the Wanderers include the "Block 108 Ultras", the "Stonewall Pirates", and the "One Ten Den".

Another unique aspect of Wanderers supporter culture is "The Cookbook", a paper fanzine written, published, and sold by the Privateers 1882 to function as a game-day programme.

Given Halifax's distance from the other teams in the league, fan travel to away games is a relatively uncommon occurrence, although trips to Ontario are the most feasible. In 2023, Wanderers president Derek Martin queried the fans about possibly chartering a plane to a mid-week game in Toronto, and the response was so overwhelming that a plane was able to be booked almost exclusively for the use of Wanderers fans, until Porter discontinued that flight's service to Halifax.{{Cite web |last=Jacques |first=John |date=2023-02-10 |title=February 10: Recapping The Last Week In CPL |url=https://northerntribune.ca/canadian-premier-league-weekly-recap-february-10-2023/ |access-date=2023-05-04 |website=Northern Tribune |language=en-US}}
