The Legislature hereby finds and declares as follows:
(a) It is the responsibility of the state to encourage, and assist in the provision of, better parks and enhanced recreational opportunities for all citizens of California.
(b) Community, neighborhood, and regional parks, beaches, recreational areas, recreational trails, and other recreational facilities, and the preservation of historic sites and structures contribute significantly to a healthy physical and moral environment and also contribute to the economic betterment of the state.
(c) Many older parks and recreational facilities have deteriorated to the point where the original investment in them may become lost, and prompt action is necessary to restore them to usefulness.
(d) Accordingly, it is in the public interest for the state to assist counties, cities, and districts in providing these facilities for the use and enjoyment of citizens they serve.
