The 46.5-acre (18.8 ha) park was established in 1953.
Proposed for closureEdit
George J. Hatfield State Recreation Area was one of 70 California state parks proposed for closure by July 2012 as part of a deficit reduction program. It was previously one of several state parks threatened with closure in 2008. Those closures were ultimately avoided by cutting hours and maintenance system-wide.
