Welcome to the City of Jefferson, Wisconsin
Jefferson, Wisconsin is a quaint Wisconsin community. Main Street shows off its vintage buildings and steepled churches built by German craftsmen. Two picturesque rivers flow through the middle of town. Our rivers will be a focal point for visitors and residents, so they can float up and catch a concert, meal and even camp along the riverbank. We know what we have is special, because people from big cities keep moving here. It’s also because we’re close by, comfortable, easygoing, hardworking, genuine and fun loving. If the great outdoors are important in your life, then Jefferson should be, too. Because, “We’re Going Outside”.

Jefferson Takes Play to the Next Level with a New All-Abilities Playground
Jefferson, WI – Get ready to play like never before! Jefferson is thrilled to announce plans for an all-abilities playground in a new location to replace the beloved, but well-worn, 25-year-old Playland of Dreams. This new, inclusive play space with name TBD will be a place where every child—
regardless of ability—can swing, slide, and climb together.
With an estimated cost of $750,000, this project will be funded through a combination of City dollars, generous community donations, and corporate sponsorships. This isn’t just about building a playground—it’s about creating a space where kids of all abilities can share in the joy of play, build friendships, and experience the freedom of movement in a safe and exciting environment.
“This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a transformation,” said Chad Holpfer, Director of Parks and Recreation. “We’re designing a space that welcomes everyone, from children with mobility challenges to kids who simply love to explore. Play is essential for all, and this playground will reflect that.” Director Holpfer went on to indicate that the anticipated location for the playground is in Stoppenbach Park. “It’s the ideal location for a playground of this size that is not in the floodplain and has room for future development”.
The city is calling on local businesses, organizations, and community members to join the movement. Donations and sponsorships will help bring this dream to life, ensuring that every child in our community has a place to play, grow, and thrive. It is important to note that the Request for
Proposals (RFP) and construction will not commence until full funding is secured.
