Angophora Reserve was purchased as a
Sir Philip Whistler Street officially opened the reserve on 19 March 1938[1] during an opening ceremony that took place under the giant Angophora tree.[2] The adjoining Hudson Park was established as a public reserve in 1957.[1]
The Angophora Reserve and Hudson Park Management Committee was formed in 1976 to aid in the management of the neighbouring reserves.[1] It remained active until it was disbanded after the Council elections in September 1991 and was succeeded by the Pittwater Reserves and Bushland Management Committee following the creation of the Pittwater Council.[1]
In 1989 Angophora Reserve and Hudson Park were registered on the now defunct
