Park History
North Jefferson Recreation Area, formerly Cedar City, emerged out of the devastation of the floods of 1993 and 1995.
Following the 1993 flood, the City pursued the buyout of business and residential holdings with funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Community Development Block Grants. A total of 198 parcels in North Jefferson City were purchased for future open space and park development. The City Council designated the 165 acres as park land and the Parks and Recreation Commission maintains the area and plans for land’s future use.
