I have two suggestions for improving this article. The first is to include more citations. There are numerous statements made throughout this article that are not cited, and most notably, the leading paragraph cites no sources at all. The second suggestion is to include a paragraph on the Friends of Temescal Creek organization and their ongoing creek restoration project^[1], which is highly relevant to the topic and hasn't been covered yet.

Indeed. There is much conjecture in the first part of the article. For example, the "concrete embankment" was not built to enclose the lake but to support the extension of Landvale Road which predated the Warren Freeway. 135.180.161.151 (talk) 03:40, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
