When Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger saved state parks from closing, it didn't mean he saved them from service cuts.
Today, state park officials announced how they would deal with a $14.2 million budget cut: Superintendents for each district (for example, many of L.A.'s nearby parks are in the Angeles District, beaches in the OC and Ventura County are in the Orange Coast and Channel Coast districts, respectively) had to share the sacrifice and find cuts on a park-by-park basis.
While specifics were addressed somewhat specifically, not all details like park hours were announced immediately. These cuts go in affect on Sunday, November 1st, lasting through at least June 30th of next year. Below are the Angeles District reductions:
