70 State Parks Close in California
By: Michelle Tepper
Our beautiful Los Encinos State Historical Park is set to close. Los Encinos State Historic Park, at the corner of Balboa and Ventura Blvd, in Encino California, was, until the late 19th Century, the hub of human habitation in the Southern San Fernando Valley. This five-acre early California rancho includes the original nine-room de la Osa Adobe, the two-story limestone Garnier House, the Reyes Hut, natural springs, and a lake (shaped like a Spanish guitar). The park contains exhibits on early California ranch life.
The parks are scheduled to close September as a result of Governor Jerry Brown’s $22 million budget cuts. This would be a tragedy for Encino – please help us save our parks, by clicking here and “sending a letter to your legislators and the governor.”
