Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park and Annadel State Park will be closed to achieve state-mandated budget cuts, a state Capitol source confirmed Thursday.


While state parks officials have closely guarded the closure list, the source familiar with the targeted parks said that both parks would be closed.

Parks officials have not said when the closures will be announced.

Supporters such as the California Parks Foundation have said they feared as many as 100 parks in the state could be forced to close because of budget reductions. Closures could involve full shutdowns of some parks, seasonal closures of others and limits on some to certain days of the week.
