An effort to save water is underway, involving changes to city parks. Less grass and more bark will be seen in parks as cities work to comply with Assembly Bill 1572. This bill, effective January 1, 2027, restricts the use of drinking water for irrigating non-functional grass.
Cities are replacing non-functional turf with tanbark or mulch. In some areas, irrigation will be turned off in peripheral park sections not used for sports or picnic areas. Further details on these changes are available from the source.
Assembly Bill 1572 aims to reduce water usage by limiting irrigation of grass that does not serve a recreational or community purpose.
