It was first mapped in 1980 by Mark Domonie, and drafted by Bill Jameson.

Located within the park is the Shaver Pond Nature Center, which provides outdoor recreation and environmental educational programs and is handicap accessible.

Besides scheduled programs, the facility may be rented for club meetings.
