Proposed Closure of California State Parks

June 05, 2009 by Deanna


The Governor of California is proposing to eliminate the general fund support of State Parks. This will have a devastating effect on California State Parks. It is anticipated that well over 200 parks will close after this summer if their proposal is put into effect - 80% of our great State Park systems. The closure will affect major parks including both parks and state beaches: Anza Borrego Desert State Park, Cuyamaca Rancho SP, Castle Crags SP, Humboldt Redwood SP are just a few. The economic, environmental and recreational impacts will be profound and long-lasting.
