Jefferson Parks and Recreation Department

There is hardly any parking! Every time I have to come here, which is multiple times a week, there's nowhere to park. People are parking on curbs, grass and odd areas. There are too many sporting events going to fit that many people. The parking lot is unsafe to walk through.

Used baseball field to practice softball with my work team and to play in co-ed leaque. Dugout was clean, field maintained. There was a playground behind stands and restroom close.

Refuses to meet unique family needs. On the summer camp registration form, they give you options as to which weeks you need your child to attend day camp. However, they fail to mention in the form or on their site (which I'm sure they will revise) that you have to pay full price for ALL 10 weeks of summer camp regardless of attendance. Wrong wrong wrong. Take your business to a more transparent establishment that is willing to work with you as an individual and value your business.

Great soccer fields for U10 and U12 (don't play on the other fields so I can't say). They keep the grass cut nicely, you can always see the field lines clearly too!

The Summer Camp and After School childcare programs are TOP NOTCH! The counselors genuinely care for the children. There are also many choices for activities for both children and adults. The cleanliness of the building is also much appreciated especially In these times!

The goal is winning and not much else ... my son played football for the first time with these guys and my daughter volley ball for the firs time with the rec before I learned my lesson ... you pay the money but only the best players play because the coaches care more about winning than allowing fair playing time ... sitting out whole games is not fair whether the child is good or whether the child is just learning .. .the cost to play is the same. Will not recommend the rec neither will I allow my children to play for them again. I even went so far as to contact the City Manager and they have a canned excuse they send to every one, like a copy and paste answer.

We absolutely love this place and all they do. I was surprised to see negative reviews. They are great with the kids and there is always something going on. My 5 year old loves it there and he participates in after school, summer camp and parents night out. Highly recommend. The staff is wonderful.
