Park was expanded to its present borders in 1957. In 2010 and 2011 the Sataplia Managed Reserve was developed to accommodate tourists: visitor centre was built, a coffee house in the middle of the park, a small museum, a small park with dinosaur models and glass observation deck built above the cliff.
