California State Parks Bonfire Removals Part of Cutbacks to Save Money
Posted by: Beach Reporter In: beaches| california
California State Parks released a chart that has been at least a month in the works. It specifies how and what will be cut and the California State Parks system. No jobs were cut, nor were any trees in the planning and release of the new plan, which closes some parks a few days each week, removes fire rings, locks up bathrooms and other maintenance style measures. While more cuts are expected in the spring if a funding mechanism isn’t secured, no jobs were cut. Many state employee field workers will be sent to nearby offices to do something instead of work at the beaches and parks that would have been open otherwise.
Thumbing through the report, there are around 150 state parks impacted with cuts, and seven will have their bonfire pits, and fire rings removed. See the list of bonfire pits and fire rings available in California parks
Those parks include:
Bolsa Chica SB Orange Coast in Huntington Beach
Crystal Cove SP Orange Coast in Newport Beach
Doheny SB Orange Coast in Dana Point
Huntington SB Orange Coast in Huntington Beach
San Onofre SB Orange Coast near San Clemente
Silver Strand SB San Diego Coast in San Diego’s Coronado Island
South Carlsbad SB San Diego Coast in Carlsbad
