You'll find Jefferson Reserve tucked away on Jefferson Crescent, off Airport Drive. Once you find it, you'll encounter a rather well-kept reserve, with a small playground at the front and a larger grass-field behind. The expanse of the field, however, is flanked by (still) small trees ans shrubs, surprinsingly manicured. You may find this to be an extra kick that keeps you wandering the place longer than you may have anticipated at first sight. There is a small passeway to nowhere, which adds enchantment to the curiosity trip (until you see it ending as an access pathway). Well-deserved a visit if only to wonder why is it kept so well!
