3 Cheers for Parks and Recreation


California will close a fourth of its parks to save $33 million over the next two years as leaders of the most-populous state work to close a $15.4 billion budget deficit.

The Parks and Recreation Department said it would close 70 of 278 sites from the redwoods of the northern coast to the deserts of the southeast. The Governor’s Mansion in Sacramento, no longer a residence, also will be shut. Those facilities draw 8 percent of park attendance. Bloomberg

Rent them out to private enterprise.
