Washington State has proposed "mothballing" 33 of our State parks, but it is my understanding that these parks would still be accessible by foot, meaning that the parking lots would be locked and so would the public restrooms, but the parks could still be used by the public. Not sure if this is the case with the California parks as well. I don't know how they would enforce keeping people out since all the staff that work the parks would be either reassigned or let go.
