Confirmed from Smith Field 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.
League sports (soccer, football, softball) keep this public park active, as do courts & playgrounds.
What runners say about Smith Field Park
“Fantastic and well laid-out park, with more than just well maintained sports fields.”
Very good pitch available. Nice place for badminton, food ball, playing, walking. Kind of canteen facility available near. I enjoyed. Satisfactory.
One of the many amazing parks Parsippany has to offer. The town does an amazing job keeping the fields in great shape. There are some walking paths, basketball courts, play areas and picnic areas. Permits are required for use of the fields.
There is plenty of parking space and the turf is in good condition with metallic multilevel benches for the expextators and benches for players. It has also a baseball field, grass area, and a walk/running path around.
Excellent! Nice playground, clean bathroom. Covered pavilion picnic area. Just wish for loading and unloading purposes we could bring the car back to the Pavilion. A bit of a walk from the parking lot to the Pavilion.
