Deep Water Point Reserve, Jetty and Sculpture Park are important as recreational amenity for the community. SIGNIFICANT ITEMS: The entire Reserve, the timber Jetty and the Sculpture Park, as a community amenity.

The Beeliar Nyoongars used these areas as campsites and hunting grounds. In the summer months the large variety of plants and animals in the area provided the Aborigines with an abundance of food and other resources. The Aboriginal name for the Canning River is 'Dyarlgarro'. This was the site of the very popular Deep Water Point Sea Scouts, and was a place of special significance to water-skiers.
