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

Assembly Member Ramos's proposal authorizes San Bernardino County to dispose of 4.2 acres at Glen Helen Regional Park while establishing requirements for acquiring replacement parkland of equal or greater recreational value. The authorization applies to park property regardless of whether it was originally purchased or improved using state grant funds, including those from the Roberti-Z'Berg-Harris Urban Open-Space and Recreation Program Act.

The legislation creates a structured timeline for the property exchange, requiring the county to submit independent appraisals of both properties to the Department of Parks and Recreation - the Glen Helen parcel by July 2026 and the replacement property by July 2027. The replacement land must equal or exceed both the fair market value and recreational utility of the disposed property. Before finalizing the exchange, the county must provide comprehensive documentation including title reports, environmental assessments, and feasibility studies demonstrating the replacement property's suitability for public recreation.

The replacement property must serve the same general population as the current park, maintain equivalent recreational facilities, and transfer all existing grant-related obligations from the disposed property. If San Bernardino County does not acquire approved replacement parkland by January 1, 2029, the authorization expires. The legislation specifies that all property transactions must occur at no cost to the state or county.
