加州州立公园首创社区准入试点：三家非营利机构带圣迭戈与Santa Cruz青少年免费进州立海滩，试点至2029年1月1日
加州州立公园（California State Parks）宣布一项首创的社区准入协议（Community Access Agreement）试点：园方已与三家非营利机构签约，由它们带加州圣迭戈县与 Santa Cruz 县历史上较少走进户外的青少年与家庭免费进入州立公园与州立海滩，并提供讲解与访客服务。试点将持续至2029年1月1日。
三家签约机构是总部在 San Diego 的 Outdoor Outreach 与 Un Mar de Colores，以及 Friends of Santa Cruz County Parks。该试点由2023年通过的州众议院第1150号法案（AB 1150）授权，符合条件的非营利与部落组织可为参与者提供免费准入、讲解与访客服务；项目同时与纽森政府的「人人享户外」（Outdoors for All）倡议衔接。活动内容包括冲浪、皮划艇、露营、导览自然步行、环境教育与户外领导力训练。
首年成果已经显现。Un Mar de Colores 借协议连接了约100名参与者，在五处州立海滩开展冲浪、环境教育与社区活动；其中在 San Elijo 与 Carlsbad 两处州立海滩，每组约12至15名学生把环境教育与冲浪课配在一起上。参与者主要是来自圣迭戈县及边境地区低收入家庭的拉美裔、原住民与移民青少年——他们全部是第一次走进州立公园，几乎所有人也是第一次冲浪。该机构提供交通、装备、双语教学与免费课程，拆掉挡住这些家庭亲近海岸的实际门槛。其执行主任 Mario Ordoñez-Calderón 说：「每个年轻人都值得拥有海洋。这项协议向从未到访过的年轻人打开了五处州立海滩。」
Friends of Santa Cruz County Parks 组织了四场家庭导览徒步，带64名参与者走进 Manresa、Seacliff 与 Sunset 三处州立海滩及 The Forest of Nisene Marks 州立公园，其中约94%是首次访客，包括经 ParkRx Santa Cruz County 从 Pajaro Valley、Live Oak 与 San Lorenzo Valley 转介的家庭；每场活动还有一名高中生志愿者协助带队。
San Diego 的 Outdoor Outreach 自2025年7月以来，已带200多名来自服务不足社区的青少年免费走进多处州立公园与海滩，包括 Cardiff、Carlsbad 与 Silver Strand 州立海滩、Torrey Pines 州立自然保护区与 Tijuana Estuary，活动涵盖徒步、露营、冲浪、桨板、皮划艇、环境教育与保育服务。该机构近期调查显示，75%的参与青少年表示缺少前往户外空间的交通，44%不知道家附近有绿地，13%觉得本地公园不安全。
州立公园主任 Armando Quintero 表示：「消除走进州立公园的障碍、促进归属感，是『人人享户外』的核心，这个试点正是把这件事落到实处的范例。我希望每位参与者离开时都有这样的感受：这些就是他们的州立公园，这里就是他们生活的地方。」
试点期间，州立公园将收集数据并提交年度报告评估协议的成效、收益与影响，研究结果将汇入2028年12月31日到期、提交州议会的最终报告，并为今后让加州州立公园更可亲近的合作模式提供依据。
California State Parks' First Community Access Pilot: Three Nonprofits Bring San Diego and Santa Cruz Youth to State Beaches Free, Pilot Runs Through Jan. 1, 2029
California State Parks has announced a first-of-its-kind Community Access Agreement pilot: the department has signed agreements with three nonprofits to bring youth and families in California's San Diego and Santa Cruz counties who have historically faced barriers to the outdoors into state parks and state beaches free of charge, with interpretive and visitor services included. The pilot runs through Jan. 1, 2029.
The three partners are San Diego-based Outdoor Outreach and Un Mar de Colores, and Friends of Santa Cruz County Parks. Made possible by Assembly Bill 1150 of 2023, the pilot lets eligible nonprofit and tribal organizations provide free access along with interpretive and visitor services in state parks, and it aligns with the Newsom administration's Outdoors for All initiative. Activities range from surfing, kayaking and camping to guided nature walks, environmental education and outdoor leadership training.
First-year results are already in. Un Mar de Colores used its agreement to connect approximately 100 participants with surfing, environmental education and community events across five state beaches; at San Elijo and Carlsbad state beaches, cohorts of about 12 to 15 students paired environmental education with surf sessions. The participants were primarily Latino, Indigenous and immigrant youth from low-income families across San Diego County and the border region — all of them visiting state parks for the first time, and for nearly all, it was also their first time surfing. The organization provided transportation, gear, bilingual instruction and free programming. "Every young person deserves the ocean," said Mario Ordoñez-Calderón, executive director of Un Mar de Colores. "This agreement opened five state beaches to young people who had never visited them before."
Friends of Santa Cruz County Parks introduced 64 participants to the outdoors through four guided family hikes at Manresa, Seacliff and Sunset state beaches and The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. Around 94% were first-time visitors, including families referred through ParkRx Santa Cruz County from Pajaro Valley, Live Oak and San Lorenzo Valley, and each outing included a trained high school-age volunteer who helped lead the hike.
Since July 2025, San Diego-based Outdoor Outreach has provided more than 200 youth from underserved San Diego communities with free outdoor recreation and educational experiences at several state parks and beaches, including Cardiff, Carlsbad and Silver Strand state beaches, Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve and the Tijuana Estuary, with activities from hiking and camping to surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, environmental education and stewardship. In recent surveys by the organization, 75% of participating youth reported lacking transportation to outdoor spaces, 44% said they were unaware of green spaces near their homes, and 13% said their local parks felt unsafe.
"Removing barriers to state parks and promoting a sense of belonging is at the heart of Outdoors for All, and this pilot program is a great example of how to make that a reality," said California State Parks Director Armando Quintero. "I hope every program participant leaves with the feeling that these are their state parks and that this is where they live."
The pilot will continue through Jan. 1, 2029. State Parks will collect data and prepare annual reports evaluating the agreements' effectiveness, benefits and impacts; findings will help inform a final report to the Legislature due Dec. 31, 2028, and could help shape future partnerships aimed at making California's state parks more accessible and welcoming to all.
