加州州立公园开放1.885亿美元公园拨款申请:单个项目最高850万美元,12月17日截止

加州 Sacramento:加州州立公园(California State Parks)宣布,「全州公园发展与社区振兴计划」(Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program,SPP)第五轮拨款即日起开放申请,全州总额约1.885亿美元,单个项目最高可申请850万美元,申请截止日期为2026年12月17日午夜前。
这笔资金来自2024年通过的第4号提案(Proposition 4)气候债券,专门用于在服务严重不足、气候脆弱的社区新建公园,或翻新、扩建现有公园。城市、县、区、联合权力机构(Joint Powers Authorities)与非营利组织均可申请,申请人须先通过州立公园的在线系统提交申请。州立公园将在全州举办线上与线下工作坊,协助申请人准备材料。
加州州立公园局长 Armando Quintero 说:「拥有户外空间对所有加州人至关重要,这笔气候债券投资将有助于改善许多人的生活质量——他们就近寻找公园,以改善身心与社交健康。我们很自豪能继续投资扩大户外休闲机会的项目,确保更多人能享受就近公园的种种益处。」
该计划支持纽森政府的「全民户外」(Outdoors for All)倡议,旨在减少历史上亲近自然面临障碍的社区所遇到的门槛。SPP 是加州历史上最大的公园类拨款计划:通过2018年第68号提案、2006年第84号提案债券与州普通基金,已累计拨款逾12亿美元;纽森政府任内已投入8.02亿美元、支持174个公园项目。加上本轮气候债券资金,SPP 的公园投资总额预计将超过13亿美元。
州立公园的拨款与地方服务办公室(Office of Grants and Local Services,OGALS)负责管理该计划。自1964年以来,全州已有近8000个社区公园借助 OGALS 的拨款建成或改善;2000年以来,该计划在全州管理的拨款总额约为44亿美元。
California State Parks Opens Applications for $188.5 Million in Park Grants: Up to $8.5 Million Per Project, Deadline Dec. 17
Sacramento, California — California State Parks announced that applications are now open for Round 5 of the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP), with approximately $188.5 million available statewide and up to $8.5 million requestable per project. Applications are due before midnight on Dec. 17, 2026.
Funded by Proposition 4, the 2024 Climate Bond, the competitive grant program supports creating new parks and renovating or expanding existing parks in critically underserved, climate-vulnerable communities. Eligible applicants include cities, counties, districts, Joint Powers Authorities and nonprofit organizations, which must first submit an online application to State Parks. The department will host virtual and in-person workshops across the state to help applicants prepare.
"Having access to outdoor spaces is critical for all Californians, and this Climate Bond investment will contribute to improving the quality of life for many people who seek local parks to improve their physical, mental and social well-being," said California State Parks Director Armando Quintero. "We are proud to continue investing in projects that expand access to outdoor recreation and help ensure more people can enjoy the many benefits of nearby parks."
The program supports the Newsom Administration's Outdoors for All Initiative. SPP is the largest park-related grant program in California history, with more than $1.2 billion awarded through the 2018 Proposition 68 and 2006 Proposition 84 bond acts and state General Funds; under the Newsom Administration it has invested $802 million in 174 park projects, and with Round 5 it is expected to surpass $1.3 billion in total park investments. Since 1964, nearly 8,000 community parks statewide have been created or improved with funding from the Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS), which has administered about $4.4 billion in grants since 2000.
