Sn 174, introduced by Senator Roberti, has passed the Senate and is before the Assembly Ways and Means Col"m i t tee, This measure is desparately needed to help alleviate the growing needs of cities, counties, and recreation and park districts for recreation facilities, park lands, and innovative recreational programs On a statewide basis, deficiencies in recreational facilities at 1he local government level are stagger0g, Using a standard of LO acres of park lands per 1,000 persons, the 1974 "Californin outdoor Recreation Resources Plan" (CORRP) estimates the statewide local park deficiency to be 127,000 acres and the regional park deficiency to he 95,000 acres. Using an average, and conservativo, cost Der acre of 815,onn— it "O"td require an watourNng Q5 Villion to corroct hose Tie plan also demonstrated that every county ill California, without exception, is deficient in either local or regional parks, Uith respect to recreation facilities, the Plan estimntes that to meet the anticipated 1980 level of demand , a total of 59,000 can? units, 75,800 picnic units, 49,900 boat access units, and 16.100 miles of riding and hihing trails must be added to the existing supply. The deficiencies in our (your cit: county, or district) are just as severe.
