The Park Today
The Jefferson Park Golf Course, the Jefferson Community Center, Jefferson Lawn Bowling green, and playfields continue to be heavily used. Jefferson Park received $8 million from the recent ProParks funding levy, allowing redevelopment and remodeling to begin. Projects in this park revitalization effort include new walking paths, gardens, and a new gymnasium. The Jefferson Park expansion officially opened October 28th, 2010.
In 2012, the park will have a groundbreaking for the Beacon Food Forest, a 7-acre forest gardening project on the west side of the reservoir.
