The significance of the site has been recognized by inclusion on the NSW State Heritage Register, its listing on the Register of the National Estate now called the National Heritage Database and inclusion in the Newcastle Local Environmental Plan.

The Newcastle City Council now possesses and runs this place as an urban park.
