The Dotson Family Marsh, formerly Breuner Marsh, is a 238-acre (96 ha)[1][2][3] regional park on San Pablo Bay in the East San Francisco Bay Area city of Richmond, California. In 2009 the East Bay Regional Parks District acquired the Breuner Marsh site, adding it to Point Pinole Regional Shoreline. A habitat restoration plan for 60 acres (24 ha) of wetlands and 90 acres (36 ha) of California coastal prairie was subsequently approved.[4][5]
On April 22, 2017, the district renamed Breuner Marsh as the Dotson Family Marsh, honoring a local family that had worked for many years to keep Breuner Marsh wild and open to the public.[6]
