VIDEO:  Literacy for Environmental Justice : Closing California's Urban State Parks
 
 
With California's state budget in a huge deficit, Governor Schwarzenegger is planning the closure of 48 state parks. Candlestick point is one of the parks slated for closure. Established as the countries first urban state park the closure of Candlestick point would mean the elimination of a vital recreation area for thousands of Hunters Point residence. Home to 365 federally designated toxic sites, the residence of Hunters Point can't afford the loss of this precious green space.

Good issue Carl, especially with Govenator targeting the parks, we're facing similar issues out here in Colorado, Gov. Ritter is doing everything he can to prevent it.

Thanks Trevor, they try to pull this kind of stuff in the hopes that no one is looking so that can put it up for development in another couple of years.
