CSP Mission. To provide for the health, inspiration and education of the
people of California by helping to preserve the state's extraordinary
biological diversity, protecting its most valued natural and cultural
resources, and creating opportunities for high-quality outdoor
recreation.
California Department of Parks and Recreation manages 280 park
units, which contain the finest and most diverse collection of natural,
cultural, and recreational resources to be found within California.
These treasures are as diverse as California: From the last stands of
primeval redwood forests to vast expanses of fragile desert; from the
lofty Sierra Nevada to the broad sandy beaches of our southern coast;
and from the opulence of Hearst Castle to the vestiges of colonial
Russia.
California State Parks contains the largest and most
diverse natural and cultural heritage holdings of any state agency in
the nation. The State Park System includes State Parks, State Natural
Reserves, State Historic Parks, State Historic Monuments, State beaches,
State Recreation Areas, State Vehicular Recreation Areas, State
Seashores and State Marine Parks. Within the system are Natural and
Cultural Preserves, lakes and reservoirs, coastal beaches, historic
homes, Spanish era adobe buildings, lighthouses, ghost towns, museums,
visitor centers, conference centers, and off-highway vehicle recreation
areas. Together, State Park System lands protect and preserve an
unparalleled collection of culturally and environmentally sensitive
structures and habitats, threatened plant and animal species, ancient
Native American sites, historic structures and artifacts... the best of
California's natural and cultural history.
With over 340 miles of
coastline, 970 miles of lake and river frontage, 15,000 campsites and
4,500 miles of trails, the State Park System provides wonderful
recreational, educational, and inspirational opportunities for over 67
million visitors a year.
