Beautiful park. Many trails with informational signs about interesting wildlife. Playscape is very rustic, a bit underwhelming and in need of some love, but my toddler had fun, so that's enough for me. Beautiful place.

It’s so many things to do such as walk, trails, bike, trails, and kayaking. You can also rent kayaks at the location where you can launch your kayak at. The trails are so amazing. You can walk for hours to get a good walk and even run through the trails as well. They also have dog parks and a small playground for the kids, and you have sitting areas throughout the trail that you can get great view of nature.

We scored a rental in the historical district and couldn’t love it more! This park is in our backyard… literally! The bridge is very well maintained and all flowers around the walking area too. Ground maintenance does a fantastic job for such a huge park and also the residents love this park so you never see trash, always see dog waste bags and also water for dogs. Super dog friendly (on leashes of course) and my husky goes for many walks a day here. It’s a nice spot for picnics, events, etc. too.

I live in Smithfield and I still can’t get enough of this walking park! It’s peaceful, goes near water, Woods, views of the town and deer and painted turtles, herons and hawks often show up.

I take my dogs to walk on the trails here every day. They are all about 1.5 miles long and very peaceful. There are puppy clean up stations all throughout the park which is great because I don't have to worry about carrying a poo bag the whole time I'm walking. There are also several benches set up in serene locations to listen to the birds and for peaceful contemplation. If you visit keep an eye out for painted rocks or consider leaving one of your own.
