The park was named after a hill in Yorkshire by the early settlers. A walking track and the single lane bitumen zig zag drive are both found within the park. The zig zag drive follows the old zig zag railway track[2] which winds up the steep terrain, offering excellent views of the Swan Coastal Plain below.[3]

No entry fees apply to enter the park but no facilities are available to visitors.
