Arizona: 13 state parks to close!
:mad:
The Arizona State Parks Board volted on January 15 to keep nine parks open and close the remaining thirteen State Parks. These closures would occur in phases starting February 22, 2010 due to six different State Parks funds being swept of $8.6 million. In addition, four parks will remain closed due to previous budget reductions.
Parks will be closed in a phased sequence starting on February 22, 2010 and include Homolovi Ruins State Park in Winslow, Lyman Lake State Park in St. Johns and Riordan Mansion State Historic Park in Flagstaff.
The next park closings will occur on March 29, 2010 and will include Fort Verde State Historic Park in Camp Verde, Roper Lake State Park in Safford, Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park, Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park and Tubac Presidio State Historic Park.
The final phased closings will occur on June 3, 2010 and will include Tonto Natural Bridge State Park near Payson, Alamo Lake State Park in Wenden, Lost Dutchman State Park in Apache Junction, Picacho Peak State Park and Red Rock State Park in Sedona.
Its a sad day:mad:
