According to the East Bay Regional Parks District, these three parks take up {{convert|6,493|acre|ha}}, approximately 38% of Antioch's total land area. Just outside Antioch city limits is the {{convert|2,024|acre|ha|adj=on}} [[Round Valley Regional Preserve]]. Established in 1980, [[Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge]] was the first national wildlife refuge in the country established for the purpose of protecting endangered plants and insects, specifically the ''[[Apodemia mormo langei]]'' known by the common name Lange's metalmark butterfly, Antioch Dunes evening primrose, and Contra Costa wallflower.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.recreation.gov/recAreaDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&recAreaId=3938&agencyCode=127 |title=Recreation.gov |access-date=December 10, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090501032746/http://www.recreation.gov/recAreaDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&recAreaId=3938&agencyCode=127 |archive-date=May 1, 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref> It is located on the south shore of the [[San Joaquin River]] in Antioch. The refuge and a few acres of surrounding lands contain most of the remaining habitat for these three species and are all that remain of a {{convert|9|km||adj=mid| stretch|order=flip}} of sand dunes formed during glaciation periods. The city has a municipal marina,<ref>[http://www.ci.antioch.ca.us/CitySvcs/Marina/ City Services] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180819162658/http://www.ci.antioch.ca.us/CitySvcs/Marina/ |date=August 19, 2018 }} City of Antioch. accessed August 22, 2011.</ref> along with other private marinas, boatyards, and yacht clubs.
