"Dr. King taught us that 'darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.' While the Trump administration tries to erase his legacy and turn national parks and monuments into places of exclusion and fear, California answers with light,"
"These policies ensure that U.S. taxpayers, who already support the National Park System, continue to enjoy affordable access, while international visitors contribute their fair share to maintaining and improving our parks for future generations,"
California will waive entry fees at more than 200 state parks on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The fee waiver follows National Park Service changes that removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from its list of fee-free entrance days and altered federal park entry rules for 2026. Some California sites remain excluded, including vehicular recreation areas, parks with per-person tour fees like Hearst Castle, and parks run by partner organizations. The federal announcement also added Flag Day as a fee-free day and stated that increased fees for international visitors will help maintain parks.
