    There was a lot of trash in view,l noticed that no trash cans in sight just in bathrooms entrance . The park had a lot of people eating lunch like we were. Possibly no garbage cans by the curb area is why trash in the street and grass is seen. This Park is big and nice for families to go for outdoors. The bathrooms were not clean as could be.

    The pool is great! Only $1/person. Clean pool. Wading pool and lap pool (3ft-7ft. Deep). Several Lifeguards on duty. This park also has a splash pad with several fun features, a large playground, and a lot of shade trees. It is in a rougher part of East Bakersfield so be prepared for that. I think the attractions at this park make up for the fact that it's in the ghetto... especially when it's 116 outside and you want to swim!!

    I like this park it's huge, has lots of basketball courts, ( which were taken down for quite a while but they have reinstalled them again.) Since there's so many basketball courts, there's always room for you to play with your own group. Plus it's got bathrooms. ( Nothing compared with the ones on the west side of town.) That's why I gave it 4 stars. I wish the bathrooms would be better. But I know that's impossible. Well at least they're there...!

    Beautiful park, but pool hours are poor, it should be open more hours and charge more to people so life guards can be paid for an entire day

    Good spot for my 4 year old to play on the jungle gym and chase birds lol. Sand around equipment was littered more than I would like but not bad

    My wife and I use this park on a daily basis. We set up here. And help people obtain SafeLink, life line phones. Jefferson Park is a beautiful clean park, with both, a water 💦 feature and a swimming pool. And plenty of toys.

    Nice clean park was a little sketched out by a teenager who as he was passing myself my sister and 3 small kids he seemed to signal to a group of adults he was with something about us as he called out to them while he gestured to us which made us leave the park... Keep an eye on your surroundings & kids...

    Park grounds are nice, kept up. Just BEWARE of EVER using the restrooms. Those are the kinda restrooms that can give people phobias about public rr. So as long as you can hold it, you can enjoy the park.

    A amphitheatre water spray for kids. Lots of grass. They are improving upon it. One of the nicer parks in East Bakersfield. Has a Bathroom. Councilman Andrae Gonzalez is over this area. And Supervisor Laticia Perez is over area. Let them both know Deidre gave them hi remarks. They care about their parks. As well as their new Parks Director Rick Anthony. They are going to renovate these bathrooms let's check back a year from now an see.
