UPDATE


On Friday, May 13, 2011, the state announced the
closure of 70 California State Parks.

Tragically, Pio Pico State Historic Park is on that closure list and is scheduled to close its gates on July 1, 2012!



The Friends of Pio Pico, and the local communities, are currently working on plans to save the park. Join with us in our efforts to save the park. We must act now!
Don't wait until it is too late! TAKE ACTION TODAY!!
