Such a temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands biome was once widespread throughout the whole Central Valley. The {{convert|2826|acre|ha|adj=on}} park was established in 1982.[1] Largely undeveloped, it was formed by combining two former state park units: San Luis Island and Fremont Ford State Recreation Area.[2] Its chief attractions for visitors are spring wildflowers, fishing, and wildlife watching.[3] Grassland Ecological AreaThe park is part of the larger Grasslands Ecological Area (GEA) of federal, state and private lands all managed for wildlife refuge values.[4] The GEA represents the largest remaining contiguous habitat block of wetlands remaining in all California.[5] The GEA is north of the Grasslands Wildlife Management Area.
