Temescal Creek drains into the marshes near the Emeryville–Oakland border on the eastern midpoint of the marshlands. The wetlands are made up of native species of
pickleweed,[2] and are currently being threatened by
Spartina,[2] a non-native invasive species of Cordgrass. It has invaded 2.4 acres (0.97 ha) or 2.5% of the wetlands.[2] There is an active abatement program consisting of aquatic herbicides.[2]
The park is often used as a recreational area by local fishers and dog-walkers.[2] The reserve is also noted for various problem areas such as unauthorized camping, petty
littering, and
dumping large articles of garbage such as TVs and refrigerators.[2]
