The recreation park was proclaimed under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 in 1972 for a parcel of land formerly known as St Marys Reserve and which was acquired by the Government of South Australia in 1953 as "public open-space for recreation purposes" and "managed by the South Australian Government Tourist Bureau as a dedicated National Pleasure Resort from 1955 until 1972". The recreation park is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.
