This has been designated a heritage area. Within this fenced off area, signals (both semaphore and colour light) along with other various pieces of track-side equipment was dumped in piles with no regard to their heritage importance. A large sign on the fence indicated that the station would be part of a proposed "Cultural Park". During 2014, the remnants of the station were converted to a local park for Ropes Crossing residents, with the remaining platform, overhead beams, rail tracks and old machinery featured as design elements. The park also displays two reproduction station signs on the platform reading "Ropes Creek Station". Owing to the Campbelltown to St Marys (Cumberland Line) trains now operating along Richmond railway line towards Richmond or Schofields, and the abolition of "The River" (the St Marys to Wyong service), there is now no requirement for the electrification of the storage sidings on the former Ropes Creek Line. Overhead wiring between the points on the Up Main to the Up Storage Sidings and the electric train stop boards has been removed. The sidings are now used for the storage of track machines during rail shut-downs or whenever scrapped rolling stock is delivered to the Sims Metal recycling plant. Early stage planning for Outer Sydney Orbital, a transport corridor travelling from Marsden Park, New South Wales in the north, to Menangle, New South Wales in the south, clearly shows a rail line turning to pass through the vicinity of the Dunheved station, possibly due to future shipping requirements of the area to relieve current road transport. The line then returns to the main corridor, and does not continue to Ropes Crossing. The station buildings along the line were built from different materials. There is now a notice at the southern end of the site indicating that an historical centre may be erected.
