Park got its name in honor of Lew Whitman, who back in 1939 had bought the land to graze cattle, and a few decades later converted their holdings into a popular place for picnics. In 1978, the land began to acquire the state government to take custody of the aquifer located here, providing drinking water to Perth. In 1986, the park was officially opened to the public.
