Celebrate our state parks!
California State Parks Week is an exciting new annual event that celebrates the amazing diversity of California’s State Park System and the people who visit and help protect these iconic places. California State Parks Week advances the “Outdoor Access for All” initiative championed by Governor Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom. In its fourth year, California State Parks Week returns from June 11–15, 2025.
Through special community events and in-person and virtual programming, State Parks, Save the Redwoods League, Parks California and California State Parks Foundation will invite Californians to celebrate the communities and cultures that make California special, explore new adventures and activities in our shared parks, and discover ways to deepen their relationships with parks and the landscapes they protect.
