Important! For Dead Doctors Don't Lie Use: 888-379-2552 Oldest State Park Gets Help 05-16-21 21:12 S.S. The Governor's May Revise Budget includes much of the costs for rebuilding and re-opening California's oldest state park. 97 percent of the 18,000-acre Big Basin Redwoods State Park was damaged (or destroyed) during last summer's CZU Lightning Complex Fires. The fire destroyed Big Basin’s historic 1930s-era visitor center, its headquarters, park amphitheater, museum and store. It also destroyed more than 100 buildings (including 20 ranger homes, 225 campsites, and 35 tent cabins), as well as 6 wooden vehicle bridges, 46 pedestrian bridges, 51 culverts, the park’s electrical system, water pipes and hundreds of signs, fences, wooden stairs and other park features.
