It is a part of the Lockhart Shire Local Government Area. Whilst it is listed in some maps and other documents as a town, it in fact is nothing more than an area of settlement that in some cases is referred to jointly with Pleasant Hills - for example the Alma Park/Pleasant Hills Landcare Group [ [http://www.murrumbidgee.cma.nsw.gov.au/index.php?id=555 Alma Park/Pleasant Hills Landcare Group] ]
Other than private properties that farm both
wheat and similar grain crops andcattle Alma Park is only locatable by an old Lutheran church that still exists on the Alma Park - Pleasant Hills Road.German Settlement
Alma Park has close links with the Pleasant Hills community particularly with regard to its
Wendish German (Lutheran ) heritage when a large group of these settlers arrived in the 1880's. At the time Alma Park was referred to as Wallendool.
