CSD Sports Complex Opens in Elk Grove The Hal Bartholomew Sports Park, the first of its kind in the region, is now open to the public.

The park is named for Hal Bartholomew, a third generation Elk Grove native who was instrumental in the establishment of youth and sports programs in Elk Grove, and the creation of the CSDs park system.

CSD has expanded Fales Park with the help of the Sacramento First Five Commission With the help of the Sacramento First Five Commission, the Cosumnes CSD has expanded Fales Park off of Auberry Drive near Calvine Road. The new section features a tot lot and butterfly garden built with the assistance of a $50,000 grant from the Sacramento First Five Commission. The First 5 Sacramento Commission is part of a statewide program created by voters in 1998 to support healthy early childhood development. It is funded through tobacco taxes. First 5 Sacramento funds the building of tot lots as one strategy to reduce obesity rates for children in Sacramento County. The butterfly garden, meanwhile, is way for children to appreciate and care for their environment and see how plants feed and shelter animals. The plants in this butterfly garden will provide food and shelter to butterflies at all stages of their development.
