Parks California

Parks California, created by the State of California to expand the reach and impact of its parks system, strengthens our public lands and inspires all people to experience these extraordinary places. 

As a public-private partner, we work alongside California State Parks, public lands agencies, tribal nations, community and nonprofit organizations to design solutions that make these spaces more inclusive, climate-resilient and sustainable. Together, we’re advancing a new partnership model that supports healthy communities and ecosystems to meet the needs of a changing California.

Our work is guided by three pillars:

• Access and Belonging— ensuring all people can experience and feel welcomed in our public lands.
• Climate and Stewardship— caring for the landscapes, habitats and resources that sustain California’s future.
• Parks of the Future— shaping a system that is inclusive, innovative and prepared for a changing world.
