    Purpose

    Research shows that spending time in the outdoors is associated with better mental and physical health.  California has a wealth of state parks, and many public libraries are likely within driving distance of one. By reducing barriers to park access and partnering with entities such as public libraries, the state can help more Californians explore the outdoors and gain the benefits of our parks.
