History of The Park
Under the Perth Metropolitan Regional Scheme, much of the park's area was reserved in 1975. The park was named Yellagonga Regional Park in 1990, in honour of the regional Indigenous leader during European settlement, Yellagonga. For local Aborigines the area forms part of their Dreaming. The site also has historical significance related to the development of the City of Wanneroo.
