上个月,唐纳德·特朗普总统在马丁·路德·金纪念日取消国家公园免费入园政策后,加州州长加文·纽森正作出回应——开放超过200个加州州立公园免费入园以纪念金博士,同时谴责特朗普的举措。
上个月,特朗普政府调整了美国人免费进入国家公园的日期,将2026年日历中的马丁·路德·金纪念日、六月节和国家公共土地日从免费入园日期中删除。
作为替代,政府增加了一系列具有历史主题或总统主题的日期。国旗日——恰好也是特朗普的生日——首次成为免费用日,此外还有宪法日、国家公园管理局成立110周年纪念日以及西奥多·罗斯福总统诞辰日。
纽森周五宣布,在黑人历史月100周年到来之际,他指示加州州立公园在2026年1月19日(周一,马丁·路德·金纪念日)向超过200个参与公园提供免费入园服务。

“当特朗普试图抹去金博士的遗产时,加州将予以纪念,”纽森在新闻稿中表示。”金博士教导我们,’黑暗无法驱散黑暗,只有光明可以做到’。尽管特朗普政府试图抹去他的遗产,将国家公园和纪念碑变成排斥与恐惧之地,但加州将以光明回应。”
“这就是为什么我宣布2026年马丁·路德·金纪念日加州州立公园免费入园——因为金博士的遗产值得被纪念,而非抹去,”纽森继续说道。”我鼓励所有加州人在马丁·路德·金纪念日走出户外,亲近自然,反思金博士的遗产,并重申我们对推进所有人公民权利的承诺。”
根据州长办公室的说法,免费入园仅适用于车辆日间使用费,全州超过200个参与的加州州立公园均可享受。

加州州立公园基金会而非纳税人资金将支持此次免费入园政策。纽森办公室表示,基金会的投资旨在维持州立公园运营,同时为终身接触加州”自然和文化瑰宝”播下种子。
民主党领导人将这一举措描述为对特朗普政府行动的直接谴责。

“随着联邦政府取消庆祝黑人历史的节日的免费入园日,加州继续沉浸在我们民权先驱的荣耀中,”州参议员阿基拉·韦伯·皮尔森表示。”开放我们的公园让所有人享受,鼓励亲人相聚、回馈社会,并在欣赏金州自然美景的同时纪念金博士的遗产。”
提供免费入园的部分公园包括大盆地红木州立公园、半月湾州立公园、糖松岭州立公园、多尼希州立公园、野木峡谷州立公园、弗洛姆湖州立公园、比德韦尔庄园和奥罗维尔湖州立公园。
部分公园仍需付费,包括越野车辆娱乐区、收取每人费用或游览费的公园(如赫斯特城堡)以及由合作组织运营的地点。

A month after President Donald Trump scrapped free national parks entry on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Gov. Gavin Newsom is responding – opening more than 200 California state parks for free to honor Dr. King while calling out Trump’s move.
Last month, the Trump administration reshaped when Americans can enter national parks for free, scrapping Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Juneteenth and National Public Lands Day from the 2026 calendar.
In their place, the administration added a slate of historically themed or presidentially themed dates. Flag day – which also happens to be Trump’s birthday – becomes a fee-free day for the first time, along with Constitution Day, the 110th anniversary of the National Park Service and the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt.
Newsom announced Friday that, ahead of the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, he is directing California State Parks to offer free admission at more than 200 participating parks on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, Jan. 19, 2026.

“While Trump works to erase Dr. King’s legacy, California will honor it,” Newsom said in a press release. “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.”
“That’s why I’m announcing free entry at California State Parks on Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2026 – because Dr. King’s legacy deserves to be honored, not erased,” Newsom continued. “I’m encouraging all Californians to get outside on MLK Day, spend time in nature, reflect on Dr. King’s legacy, and reaffirm our commitment to advancing civil rights for all.”
Free entry applies to vehicle day-use fees only and is available at more than 200 participating California state parks statewide, according to the governor’s office.

Free vehicle entry is being made possible by the California State Parks Foundation rather than taxpayer dollars. The foundation’s investment is intended to keep the state parks running while also planting seeds for a lifetime of connection to the state’s “natural and cultural treasures,” Newsom’s office said.
Democratic leaders framed the move as a direct rebuke of the Trump administration’s actions.

“As the federal government eliminates fee-free park days for holidays that celebrate Black history, California continues to revel in the glory of our civil rights pioneers,” state Sen. Akilah Weber Pierson said. “Opening our parks for everyone to enjoy encourages loved ones to come together, give back, and honor Dr. King’s legacy while enjoying the natural beauty of the Golden State.”
Some of the parks offering free entry include Big Basin Redwoods, Half Moon Bay, Sugarloaf Ridge, Doheny, Wildwood Canyon Park Property, Folsom Lake, Bidwell Mansion and Lake Oroville.
Some parks will still require a fee, including off-highway vehicle recreation areas, parks with per-person or tour fees such as Hearst Castle and locations operated by partner organizations.
