Crystal Cove State Park, which attracts 1.3 million visitors a year, will likely remain open but will not be immune to cuts made in the state budget, according to the Crystal Cove Alliance’s latest newsletter.
“Though we do not believe Crystal Cove State Park will be on the closure list to be posted just after Labor Day, we can certainly look forward to many difficult challenges and choices in the coming days,” the newsletter stated.
More than 100 state parks may be closed as part of a budget that cuts $14 million from state parks this fiscal year.
“Cuts of this magnitude will force substantial park use fee increases for the parks that remain open, and reduced visitor services,” the newsletter stated. Already, parking fees have increased from $10 to $15 per day. The newsletter said that state parks officials are in daily discussions with the Crystal Cove Alliance.
