The ma jority of the pa rk wa s proc la imed on 31 August 1989 to c onserve the na tive vegeta tion a nd c ultura l herita ge of the pa rk, a nd to provide for public rec rea tion a nd enjoyment. A further a llotment wa s a dded to the pa rk on 4 Oc tober 2001. The pa rk c onserves a la rge a rea of na tive vegeta tion, whic h provides a n importa nt refuge for na tive flora a nd fa una . It a lso provides a muc h-va lued rec rea tiona l resourc e to the residents of the north-ea stern suburbs. Through orga nisa tions suc h a s the Friends of Anstey Hill, the C ity of Tea Tree G ully a nd the Na tiona l Trust, strong c ommunity c onnec tions ha ve been forged with the pa rk. The most immediate management c onc ern within the park is the prevention of illegal mountain bike riding in areas of high c onservation va lue. This ma na gement pla n proposes strategies to provide for the development of purpose built trails for mountain bike riding in a designated area of the park, whilst c losing and reha bilitating unauthorised trails developed throughout the rest of the park. Ma ny people a nd c ommunity groups ha ve c ontributed to the development of this ma na gement pla n. Their input a nd interest is gra tefully a c knowledged. I now forma lly a dopt the pla n of ma na gement for Anstey Hill Rec rea tion Pa rk under the provisions of sec tion 38 of the N a t i o nal Pa r ks a n d W i l d l ife A c t 1 972.
