The former Point Grondine First Nation abandoned the area in the 1940s, moving to the Wiikwemkoong territory on Manitoulin Island before fully amalgamating with the Wiikwemkoong band in 1968.[3] The Point Grondine area then remained unoccupied and virtually unused by the band until the park was established in 2015.[4] The park is the first phase in a planned Georgian Bay Coast Trail project, which will eventually see a 200-kilometre nature trail extending on indigenous-owned land from Point Grondine to Bayfield Inlet.[5]
Although owned and operated separately, the park is managed in collaboration with the neighbouring Killarney Provincial Park.[6]
