The Aberdeen fan along with partners has raised a "significant" portion of the £12m costs for the venue.
It will feature a training pavilion, groundsman accommodation, three training pitches and two floodlit 3G pitches.
Mr Cormack has told of his pride at being recognised for his contributions.
He said: "My family and I are honoured to be recognised in this way and to be part of such a huge milestone in Aberdeen Football Club’s history.
"Cormack Park will provide much needed purpose-built and best-in-class training facilities for AFC players and coaching staff.

"As well as helping attract and retain talent, it will serve as an excellent community engagement base from which to inspire future generations for years to come.
"It is an essential component for AFC’s future success, on and off the pitch, and its impending completion marks a crucial time for the club as it looks to capitalise on these fantastic facilities and progress with phase two.
"My thanks go to Tom Crotty, Roger Lee and my other investment partners for the contributions they have made to this project."

The new facility is part of a two-phase project which also includes the development of the new stadium.
Cormack became vice-chairman of the Pittodrie club in 2018 after previously having held a position on the AFC board since 2017.
Chairman Stewart Milne said: “Dave is passionate about the Club and his input has helped propel AFC into a new and very exciting period as we look to complete the first phase at Kingsford in the coming months."
