Jefferson Park

A Neighborhood Oasis

Situated on Cleveland's west side, Jefferson Park spans 9.2 acres of urban greenery that has become the heartbeat of the Jefferson neighborhood. Local families have been making memories here since the early 1900s, when Cleveland expanded its boundaries by bringing the Village of West Park into the fold in 1923.

What You'll Find Here

Walk through Jefferson Park and you'll immediately notice an ideal balance of open spaces and towering trees that create natural canopies of shade. It's the kind of place where you can actually hear yourself think.

If you're into staying active, you'll find tennis courts, pickleball courts, and basketball courts that are usually busy with friendly competition. Bringing the kids? They'll make a beeline for the modern playground that's become a neighborhood favorite.

The winding walking paths are meant for your morning jog or an evening stroll as the sun sets. The large, inviting grassy field is ideal for impromptu soccer games, family picnics, or just lying back and cloud-watching on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Community at Its Core

What we really like about Jefferson Park is how it brings people together. Throughout the year, the park hosts events that reflect the neighborhood's character. The Halloween festival (known as Haunted Hallow) is a highlight that draws families in with costume contests and treat stations that leave kids wide-eyed with excitement.

During these gatherings, you'll come across local merchants setting up shop alongside community organizations and emergency services - all part of the tight-knit community fabric. When summer rolls around, the park comes alive with the sounds of concerts and the glow of outdoor movie screenings under the stars.

Getting There & Recent Updates

Finding Jefferson Park is easy thanks to its convenient location just off Lorain Avenue, making it a quick trip for residents from all surrounding neighborhoods.

Over the years, the park has seen its fair share of renovations to keep things fresh and functional. These ongoing improvements help maintain this important green space in west Cleveland.
