It has been 15 years since California has passed a park bond. Over that time, we have seen our State Parks accumulate over $2 billion in deferred maintenance, and witnessed the need for local parks being wildly out-paced by population growth and demand, particularly in low-income communities. SB 5 places a $4 billion bond on the 2018 ballot that will fund California’s local and state parks, coast, rivers, and waterways. This investment will address urgent park needs, help protect our communities from the heat in the summer, improve access to clean drinking water, and provide critical habitats for California wildlife.
