No official list of state parks to close had been published yet, but at least five in the Los Angeles area face the real possibility of closing if partnerships are not formed to save them after Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed $39 million from the department's budget.
Los Encinos in Encino, Santa Susana Pass in Chatsworth, Rio de Los Angeles in Chinatown, Point Dume in Malibu and Pio Pico in Whittier are all being considered for closure, the LA Times finds. A couple weeks ago, friends of Los Encinos State Historic Park held a large meeting to find ways to keep the park open.
“I don’t think the gravity of this situation has sunken in yet with a lot of people,” Sean Woods, superintendent of the Los Angeles sector of the state parks system, told the Times. “But the day of reckoning has arrived.”
Parking and camping fees will increase next Monday.

NOT POINT DUME!
that is one of my favorite parks ever.
definitely smells like a play by these super rich to unofficially "own" this super prime coastline. they've been caught breaking the law and intimidating regular folk who dare use this public park for forever.
more coverage on this point dume fiasco please.
wow, point dume is a popular park, why not close down the unpopular ones first?
Seriously, it's not a coincidence.
Rich actors and such claim whole parts of the Point Dume beach as "their property" even though it's public land - it's typical spoiled rich brat "land grabbing" going on here. Battle for the Sand
Umm, speaking of Manson followers... Who would want to camp on Santa Susanna Pass in Chatsworth, so close to Spahn Ranch? Creepy campout.
