HistoryEdit
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was concluded on February 2, 1848, officially ending the war between the United States and Mexico. It provided that the new international border between the two countries be established by a joint United States and Mexican Boundary Survey. The commission began its survey at Border Field.
HabitatEdit
The Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve contains much of Border Field State Park and is an important wildlife habitat. The salt and freshwater marshes give refuge to migrating waterfowl and resident wading birds, such as black-necked stilt, American avocet, green-winged teal, American wigeon and pelicans. The park offers hiking, horse trails, surf fishing and birding.
VisitorsEdit
For fiscal year 2014-15 61,799 people visited the Border Field State Park, up from 45,633 in FY 2011-2012.
Small portions of the park often become flooded and are inaccessible to the public. New border fences have also taken small portions of the park away.
