48 state parks and recreation areas in California are slated to close in a draft budget proposal, including Railtown 1897 (state historic park).

I personally hope that this helps sets the stage to improve things at Railtown. There have been positive changes lately, but the site (especially buildings and freight cars) still suffers from deferred maintenance, poor signage/advertising, and has missed opportunities in some regards toward volunteerism. Fingers are crossed.

The announcement regarding closures may be to get the public attention. However, if the response is not strong enough the closures may happen.
