Confirmed from Jimmy Smith Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Tiny green space with 2 rocks & a bench dedicated to local educational leader James Smith.
What runners say about Jimmy Smith Park
I was walking to class and thought I had stepped on a pebble but it turns out that it was this park.
It’s a nice little park on the corner of a street. The stop and go traffic really adds to the ambience amongst the scenic view of 3 pine trees and two rocks. There’s about a 100ft pathway to get your steps in
I run in this park 5 times a week- takes about 3hrs to run around the entire park. Also a Great river for a swim in the park! 5/5✨✨✨✨✨
Frolic down the winding paths, but leave some breadcrumbs to find your way back...

The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
