Confirmed from Smooth Canyon 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.
Relaxed park featuring soccer fields along with a paved path for walking and jogging.
What runners say about Smooth Canyon Park
“Great place to go running or take your dogs, not crowded at all”
Nice park I've been limited on the parking but there's a church across the street with plenty of parking available so not a big deal. Lots of open green field and most of it is set aside for soccer. Has a paved walking path around the outside that many people use to jog or walk their dogs.
Played adult coed soccer this morning here and had a great time. The field was in decent shape with a spots drying out, but a great path around the field for the kids to ride bikes and scooters on.
Super gorgeous backdrop as it's right up against the mountain. 4 individual bathrooms, handicap parking, a paved path around 2 soccer fields. The fields are a little close to the path though.
2 great soccer fields and a walking path. Lots of parking at a nearby church.
