FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







No. 19
URBAN PARKS

                 
Interior Secretary Watt has stated that he is ending the Urban Parks program; saying the nation's parks are already too big and have lands, including part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, that are not worthy of federal protection.  Since open space is disappearing at a very rapid rate, the opportunities for park acquisitions will be lost forever.  There is a great need for urban parks to be established in many states near large population centers.  Such parks would be accessible to city people limited means.  The Federation urges our congressional representatives to oppose all efforts to halt this country's Urban Parks program and to continue their support of the allocation of funds for the acquisition of urban national recreation areas.
