CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS FOUNDATION STATEMENT ON
STATE PARK CLOSURES IN GOVERNOR’S FY08-09 BUDGET
------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
"Today, the Governor took aim at California's treasured state parks, releasing a budget that contains the most draconian cuts ever considered for the state park system," declared Elizabeth Goldstein, president of the California State Parks Foundation (CSPF). "Never before have so many parks, and such a diversity of state parks, state historic parks, state recreation areas, and state beaches been placed on the chopping block. The millions of Californians who visit their parks will not tolerate this and will lead the fight to keep our state parks open."
"As if closing more than 17 percent of the parks system outright isn't a bad enough idea, slashing lifeguard services on state beaches in Santa Cruz, Orange and San Diego Counties is a dangerous proposal. Californians will continue to flock to state beaches, and a lack of skilled lifeguards to protect those beachgoers is not only a recipe for disaster, it will potentially increase costs to the state and also increase the state's risk and legal liability if people are hurt or injured at the beach."
"Closing state parks is not simply an economic exercise. The plan will impact millions of California teachers and schoolchildren who rely upon historic museums and missions to showcase our state's rich history. California families who have already made plans and reservations for camping trips, summer vacations, and other family getaways in state parks will be immediately impacted. No child who seeks to explore nature and the environment should be turned away from a state park. No teacher who is looking for creative ways to engage students in science and education should be told the state parks are not available for learning."
"Achieving a mere $9 million savings by hacking at the heart of our state parks system inflicts maximum physical pain for minimal financial gain. Closing California's treasured parks undermines a legacy that has been established for future generations. CSPF urges the Legislature to reject the Governor's proposal."
