Why is the park at risk?

On May 13th, 2011 the California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) released a list of 70 state parks that will be permanently closed to the public. Although other park closure lists have been released in the past, this is the first time in the 100 year history of California's state park system that closures will be implemented. Portola Redwoods and Castle Rock State Parks are both on that permanent closure list.
