Red Smith Park

Location and Overview

Nestled in a quiet residential area on the east side of Green Bay, Wisconsin, Red Smith Park spans nearly 25 acres of recreational space. This community park offers something for just about everyone, whether you're looking to break a sweat or simply enjoy some fresh air.

Sports and Recreation

If you're into sports, you'll find plenty of options here. The park has a soccer field (though it could use a bit of leveling), a basketball court, and two tennis courts where you can practice your serve or challenge a friend to a match.

When winter blankets the landscape, the park transforms with a hockey rink and ice rink becoming the seasonal highlights for cold-weather enthusiasts.

Natural Features

Need a break from the hustle? The park's nature walking trails meander through the grounds, offering a peaceful escape where you can stretch your legs and reconnect with nature. There's also plenty of open green space fantastic for throwing a frisbee, having a picnic, or just lounging on a blanket with a good book.

Family Amenities

Kids will light up at the sight of three separate playground areas where they can climb, slide, and make new friends. On hot summer days, the popular splash pad becomes the place to be - a neighborhood favorite where little ones can cool off while parents relax nearby. It's one of those simple pleasures that makes summer in Green Bay special.

Facilities

Planning a gathering? The park has picnic shelters and a pavilion available. One shelter can accommodate 30 people in an enclosed space and another 24 in an open area. There's a nice awning that provides welcome shade for parents watching soccer games or keeping an eye on playground adventures.

You'll also find clean restroom facilities throughout the park - a small but important detail that makes longer visits much more comfortable.

If you're looking for an active afternoon, a family outing, or just a peaceful spot to enjoy the outdoors, Red Smith Park offers a versatile space for the Green Bay community in all seasons.
