Greater Kingston National Park was created in 2004 as Class A reserve No. 47762 with a size of 21,092 hectares (52,120 acres) by an act of parliament by the Parliament of Western Australia on 8 December 2004,[5][6] as one of 19 national parks declared in the state that day.[7]
Greater Kingston is one of only two national parks, alongside Dryandra Woodland, that is a location for an original numbat sub-population. The numbats in the Upper Warren area are present at Greater Kingston National Park and the Tone-Perup Nature Reserve as well as some adjoining State Forest.[8]
