MESSAGE from the GENERAL MANAGER

When Cosumnes CSD’s Summer Activity Guide hits your mailbox, that means it is time to start planning your summer adventures. Nearly every adult in the United States looks back fondly at a summertime activity or tradition they created in parks and recreation. For many, going to the pool, park, or playground are especially fun childhood memories. For others, going to summer camp or playing sports sparks nostalgia. Cosumnes Parks and Recreation not only gives kids a fun place to create lifelong memories, but also offers working parents a safe and affordable option for childcare. We are excited about two major infrastructure projects that are important steps to meet the needs of our vibrant, growing community: CORE Recreation Center and Fire Station 77.

The 54,000-square-foot recreation center, called CORE, will be built in Morse Community Park and will include two gymnasiums, indoor and outdoor fitness spaces, an indoor jogging track, event lawn, on-site parking, and more. Slated to open in late 2024, we envision CORE to be a community hub for fitness and wellness in this dynamic area of Elk Grove.

Currently under construction is Cosumnes Fire’s ninth fire station in the fastgrowing south end of Elk Grove. Station 77 will open later this year and will benefit all residents within our jurisdiction as service calls continue to rise and the area continues to attract new residents, businesses, and visitors. This season, we will continue to celebrate the vital role Cosumnes CSD plays in bringing people together, providing essential services, and fostering the growth of our community. We look forward to connecting with you all summer long.
