Share Your Photos for State Parks Forward

California State Parks is moving forward with one of the biggest expansions of the State Park System in decades, including three new parks in the Central Valley: Feather River Park, San Joaquin River Parkway, and Dust Bowl Camp.

As part of the State Parks Forward effort, we invite community members to share photos that reflect their connection to these places and the landscapes, histories, communities, and outdoor experiences they represent. Whether your photos show local rivers, open spaces, wildlife, cultural or historic places, family outings, recreation, or moments that capture what access to parks means to you, your submission can help bring the project to life.

Submitted photos may be used in project outreach, engagement, and storytelling materials to help celebrate California’s growing State Park System and the communities connected to these new and expanding parks.
