Thomas Jefferson Park

Although only a few blocks long, this friendly neighborhood park is packed to the brim with things to do. On busy days, runners circle the track while groups of friends shoot hoops, hit balls, and take advantage of the baseball and handball courts. The small recreation center on its grounds offers a fitness room, exercise equipment, and classes for those looking for a good workout. The park is also a wonderful resource for children. Its substantial playground, complete with swings and slides galore, provides plenty of spaces for jumping, climbing, and carrying on. In the summer the park takes on a whole new character, when the outdoor pool is opened and families come out to use the barbeque grills and picnic tables.
