RESCUE Pio Pico State Historic Park
On Friday, May 13, 2011, the state of California announced the
closure of 70 of its state parks. Tragically, Pio Pico State Historic Park was on that closure list and is scheduled to close its gates on July 1, 2012!
On Friday, March 16, 2012, the Friends of Pio Pico launched its "RESCUE PIO PICO" Campaign to raise $80,000 by July 1, 2012 to save the park. These funds will keep the park open for the next year. Please join us in our efforts to rescue the park by making a donation today! We must act now! Letting this park close means losing a valuable historic treasure in our own backyard. Don't wait until it is too late!
TAKE ACTION TODAY!!
