According to The California Report‘s tally, as of today, June 13, 2012, of the 70 parks slated to close, 28 of them have been saved putting the total parks in jeopardy at 42 (although this number is continually evolving). Here’s a quick recap of some of the latest news:

• Sonoma County Board of Supervisors OK deal to run Annadel State Park via The Press Democrat
• Sempervirens forges deal with state to keep Castle Rock State Park open via The Mercury News
• Shasta State Historic Park off closure list via KRCRTV.com
• Pio Pico state park to remain open with donation from Whittier via Los Angeles Times
• Group forms to keep Picacho Park open via YumaSun.com
• Supporters struggle to buy time for endangered state parks via The Los Angeles Times

The California Report in particular is keeping close tabs on the state park closures with their On The Rocks special report. The stellar package includes an updated map of all of the state’s parks (embedded below) with color coded markers:
