The Jefferson Recreation Department is committed to providing quality, safe and fun programs for our area citizens. We are affiliated with the Sports Illustrated Good Sports™ program to help promote a focus on a positive learning experience for all. Our programs, facilities and staff have expanded and continue to grow to serve the public with the highest regard for customer service.

The main office is located at 2495 Old Pendergrass Road, just off the 129 by-pass in Jefferson. The new facility illustrates the community support and integration of long range recreational activities. The main campus has a brand new gymnasium, offices, facilities for multiple programs, meetings, events and storage. We have three new multipurpose fields for soccer and football and two 300' baseball fields with batting cages and warm up pens. The 99 acre park has plenty of parking and passive recreation areas to enjoy. Phase two will soon begin to bring more baseball/softball fields and walking trails to this area.

City Park is another facility that houses the Club House which is available for rental to the community and several other features for recreation. The department has received grant funds to rebuild the tennis courts at City Park, and construct several new Tee Ball fields for the biggest of our programs. City Park also features restrooms, a playground, a sand volleyball court, and a stocked pond for youth fishing lessons and tournaments.

The Jefferson Recreation Department City Pool is located just behind Memorial Stadium on Memorial Drive across from City Park. This facility is open Memorial Day through Labor Day and will be home to the new Jefferson Sea Dragons swim team.

The Jefferson Elementary Fields have been renovated for 2006 and will be home for most of the 12, 10 and 8 & under baseball and softball teams.
