Temescal Creek: Temescal Creek Park to Hollis Green Park

This tour of the Temescal Creek Park area begins near the corner of 47th Street and Adeline Street.

Temescal Creek is diverted into a culvert that runs directly under this park's path. Restored in 2013, Temescal Creek Park contains several San Francisco Bay-friendly and green infrastructure features. These features include native shrubs, bioswales that help absorb and filter pollution from stormwater runoff, and a rock swale containing re-used boulders and cobbles. As you walk through the park, you'll see native coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) bordering the path. This is a well-loved and well-used park. Even small areas like this park are able to provide a toehold for flora and fauna, and are often biological corridors allowing species to move across territory by providing food and habitat.
