Although sizable off-leash dog areas exist at Point Isabel and the new Point Isabel extension, off-leash dog use is extensive in other areas and poses a threat to wildlife in the park. Proposed development at Golden Gate Fields racetrack in Albany could divide the park in half. But currently there are no plans or funding to restore these areas. The state parks department’s General Plan for Eastshore State Park identifies approximately 80 percent of the park’s 260 acres of uplands as “Conservation Areas,” to be managed for habitat values and to encourage compatible recreation such as hiking, bird-watching, and nature photography. While the park boundaries have been established, proposed development and human-related impacts continue to threaten the wildlife that rely on shoreline and upland habitats. The park was renamed in October, 2013 in honor of Sylvia McLaughlin. The park’s 260 acres of uplands provide habitat for many bird species now disappearing from the Bay Area, such as the Western Meadowlark and the Northern Harrier. To the north, the Albany mudflats rival the crescent in waterbird numbers. The Emeryville Crescent, adjacent to the Bay Bridge, is a 558-acre tidal marsh and cove that supports up to 14,000 shorebirds and thousands of other birds. The park includes two of the richest waterbird habitats in the Bay Area. The park was created in 1997 when the California State Department of Parks and Recreation acquired the entire 8.5-mile stretch of shoreline. Da det meste af resten af Point Reyes blev inkorporeret i Point Reyes National Seashore, forblev Tomales Bay State Park i statsparksystemet.The East Bay shoreline, stretching north from the Bay Bridge to the City of Richmond, is home to an abundance of waterbirds and other wildlife and the site of the 2,262-acre Eastshore State Park. 
Nogle af strandområderne på Tomales Bay begyndte at blive købt af private parter, og for at sikre offentlig adgang til bugten, bevarelsesgrupper og staten Californien købte også ejendom, og statsparken blev åbnet den 8. Navnet blev senere angliceret til Point Reyes.ĭet meste af Point Reyes forblev uudviklet på grund af dets fjerntliggende placering den største del af halvøen er vært for en række landbrugsformål, især mejeri operationer. Cirka 25 år senere spansk opdagelsesrejsende Sebastián Vizcaíno landede i området og navngav det "La Punta de Los Tres Reyes" ("Point of the Three Kings"), en henvisning til De tre kongers fest. Britisk opdagelsesrejsende Sir Francis Drake landede i området i 1579. Området var habitat for Kyst Miwok mennesker i flere tusinde år før europæernes ankomst.
