Named after William Walter Abbett, the reserve was developed in the early 1960s. A new tennis pavilion for use by the Scarborough District Sportsmen's Club (now Scarborough Sports and Community Club) was officially opened within the reserve in November, 1964.

The site had previously been included within the 16 hectares purchased by carpenter Jesse Golding in 1869.

In the early 1900s the site was home to Mrs Smith, who ran a modest dairy from the location with two or three cows.
