Regional park property: County of San Bernardino: Glen Helen Regional Park.

Assembly Member Ramos's legislation authorizes San Bernardino County to dispose of up to 4.2 acres at Glen Helen Regional Park while requiring the acquisition of replacement parkland of equal or greater recreational value. The bill permits the county to sell or transfer park property, including land previously acquired or improved through Roberti-Z'berg-Harris Urban Open-Space and Recreation Program Act grants, subject to approval from the Department of Parks and Recreation.

The replacement property must meet specific criteria to maintain recreational access and value for current park users. These requirements include comparable physical characteristics, equal or greater size, similar accessibility for existing users, and equivalent facilities. The county must acquire the replacement property either before or simultaneously with any disposal of Glen Helen Regional Park land, with no associated costs to the state or county.

The Department of Parks and Recreation serves as the oversight authority, reviewing and approving proposed replacement properties to ensure compliance with the bill's requirements. Any replacement parkland remains subject to existing state regulations, including applicable provisions of the Roberti-Z'berg-Harris Act governing the use and maintenance of grant-funded recreational spaces.
