Background

            The State Parks Revenue Fund is used for the operation and maintenance of the state park system and to acquire and develop real property as state parks consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Arizona State Parks Board. The State Parks Revenue Fund consists of: 1) monies received from the sale of park posters, postcards, books, souvenirs and other sundry items;
2) monies appropriated by the Legislature for the purpose of enhancing state parks; 3) gifts and donations; 4) all monies derived from the state parks user fees, concession fees and other revenue generating activities; 5) surcharges on park reservations; and 6) the sale of park assets (A.R.S.

The monies in the Arizona Trail Fund may only be used to maintain the Arizona Trail. The Arizona Trail extends approximately 800 miles between the southern and northern borders of Arizona and is designated to memorialize former U.S. Congressman Bob Stump (A.R.S. § 41-511.15).
