Among the ways in which local communities have provided these facilities and services has been the creation and operation of recreation and park districts.

Local officials have used this statutory authority to serve the diversity of California’s communities and residents.

It is also the intent of the Legislature that recreation and park districts cooperate with other public agencies and private organizations to deliver those facilities and services. Further, the Legislature encourages local communities and local officials to adapt the powers and procedures provided by this chapter to meet the diversity of their own local circumstances and responsibilities.(Repealed and added by Stats. 2001, Ch. 15, Sec. 4.
