A California State Parks plan to save $14.2 million will affect four Sierra parks, including Grover Hots Springs, Bodie, Sugar Pine Point and Donner Memorial.
Sierra District Superintendent Pam Armas said there won't be a significant change to Bodie State Historic Park.
"Whatever is going to happen at Bodie has already happened," she said.
Donner State Park museum will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays, Armas said.
Winter camping at Sugar Pine will be closed in one of the loops.
Armas said people who want to winter camp may use Grover Hot Springs.
The pool at Grover Hot Springs will be closed additional days during the winter. According to the recording for the park, the pool is now open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday through Monday. Armas referred specific inquires about the pool's new hours to the sector superintendent.
The 21 State Park District Superintendents were tasked with the responsibility of assigning service reductions for their respective areas on a park by park basis.
A list of parks was released by the parks department this afternoon.
While some service reductions began taking place shortly after the state budget was passed, the larger, more noticeable changes that include changes to park hours of operation are scheduled to be implemented on Sunday.
