Elmer Aldrich, head of the

Division of Natural Resources,
says Uie demand for recreational
opportunities ls Increasing four
times as fast as Uie state's pop¬
ulation ls rising and can be ex¬
pected to continue tojumpshaxp-
ly ln the next 15 years.
Leisure time will be up 15 per
cent by 1980, Aldrich predicts,
while Income spent by persons
for recreation wUl rise 30 per
cent; ability to travel wUl go up
50 per cent; and Uie population

Picnicking faculties, already
30 per cent deficient, wUl be 380
per cent below requirements by
1980, he says, whUe boating fa-
clllUes, now meeting one half of
Uie demand, wUl meet only one
sixth of the demand ln 15 years.
Other recreational faculties face
similar problems.
Thousands of California vaca¬
tioners each year can recall a
spoUed outing as Uie result of a
sign saying 'Sorry—Full,* at the
entrance to most parks during the
busy summer months.

line up dozens of cars deep wait-

Should Uie prediction prove
correct, a seven-hour day would
seem Uie probable result and,
using Porter's breakdown, local
and regional recreational facUl-
Ues would, duringdaytimehours,
face Uie brunt of Uie increased
leisure time demand.
Parks at Uie regional and coun¬
ty day use level are the biggest
headaches ln Uio state's park
system, officials admit.
The California Public Outdoor
Recreation Plan, approved by Uie
legislature ln 1960, recognized
the problem when lt noted:
■Generally ln Zone 2 (day use)
the deficiencies are greatest and
the responslbUitles the most con¬
fused. Deficiencies within Uils
day use zone stem from the lack
of coordinated planning, the ab¬
sence of advance acquisition pro¬

big question mark.

Uie primary responslbUlty to
supply recreation space and ser¬
vices to their neighborhoods and
communities at acceptable stan¬
dards (tho current standard is one
acre of park land for every 100
persons); 3. Community service

such as school and Irrigation dis¬
