California State Parks Week

Thank you for celebrating the fifth annual California State Parks Week!


From June 10–14, 2026, people across California came together to explore, learn, volunteer, and connect with the outdoors through free events held in state parks across the state.

California State Parks Foundation was proud to serve as a key partner of this collaborative event series, helping fund park events that aligned with our mission to protect and preserve California's state parks, for the benefit of all.

With support from our Trailblazer sponsor, Niagara Cares, our Park Champion supporter, Boeing, and Your California Ford Dealers, Proud Partners of the California State Parks, California State Parks Foundation distributed nearly $65,000 to support events statewide.

Whether you attended a guided hike, cultural program, volunteer project, wildlife experience, paddling adventure, or family-friendly activity, thank you for being part of this year's celebration.
