48 California State Parks to Close
January 14th, 2008
Save our state parks!
RED ALERT! Governor Schwarzenegger’s new budget proposal seeks to close 48 California State Parks and reduce lifeguard staffing at every single California State Beach along the San Diego and Orange County coastlines! Some of the parks slated for closure include Topanga State Park and Will Rogers State Historic Park in Los Angeles, Montaña de Oro State Park near San Luis Obispo, Del Norte Redwoods State Park near Crescent City, Mt. San Jacinto State Park near Idyllwild, and Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park, birthplace of modern California. To see the entire list of parks set to be closed and read the California State Parks Foundation statement on the emergency, click HERE.
CONTACT Governor Schwarzenegger HERE and tell him not to close the parks! California State Parks are the envy of the nation and must not be boarded up, barricaded, mothballed and kept from people of California! We will accept higher entrance fees if it means the parks will remain open! Quit playing politics! Don’t deny us our state parks!
