5096.161. The Legislature recognizes that public financial resources are inadequate to meet all capital outlay needs of the state park system and that the development of recently acquired units of the state park system has proceeded at a rate that has prevented their full potential for public use from being realized.

(a) Serve metropolitan population centers and accommodate day-use and weekend-overnight visits.
(b) Provide for the development of existing units with the minimum facilities necessary for accessibility, use, and interpretation.
(c) Rehabilitate facilities at existing units that will provide for more efficient management and reduced operational costs.

(e) Preserve examples of historical resources and natural landscapes that are underrepresented in the state park system.
