Photos: Who's Going to Take Responsibility for Flood Park?

With an annual operating cost of more-than $200,000, San Mateo County is ready to close the place for good. Some people in Menlo Park want the city to take charge of it. See what the fuss is about in these photos.

Flood Park is a county-maintained, 21-acre piece of property that is officially closed through September, 2011. On March 17, San Mateo County said it would consider closing it down for good to save more than $200,000 a year in operating costs. Since then, Menlo Park residents have encouraged the city to take charge of the space and allocate it for use by Menlo Park residents.  See what your tax dollars are paying for in this slide show.
