News(URGENT): The Death of Arizona State Parks

Posted by Madden Driver Coghlan

Starting on Feb. 22 Arizona will begin to systematically close down all but 9 of the states 27 parks. Due to a staggering budget deficit Arizona is looking for major budget cuts from all areas, but the park system has been especially hard hit. The budget for Arizona State Parks Department has been slashed down to less than 30% of the original operating budget and there are indications that if things do not improve by the end of the fiscal year, the remaining 9 parks will be forced to close.
