Save Lake Murray: Oppose the Proposed Closure

The Issue

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria’s proposed FY 2026 budget includes severe cuts to city lake operations, reducing Lake Murray and Miramar Reservoir access from 7 days a week to just weekends. This measure, aimed at addressing a budget shortfall, would save $414,176—but at the cost of limiting public access to vital recreational spaces.

Lake Murray is a beloved community resource that generates revenue through user fees and supports outdoor activities for thousands of residents. Please sign this petition to urge city leaders to find a compromise that preserves public access. The final budget will be decided by June 10—act now to keep Lake Murray open.
