Smith Park

Park Overview

Located in Milwaukee, Smith Park spans 19.4 acres of green goodness that is the neighborhood's outdoor living room. This versatile space blends natural charm with practical facilities, giving you plenty of options whether you're looking to break a sweat or simply unwind in nature's embrace.

Splash and Play

When summer heats things up, the park's wading pool becomes the place to be for little ones looking to cool off and splash around. Right nearby, you can find playground equipment that keeps kids entertained for hours - great for those days when your young ones need to burn off some energy while you catch a moment on a nearby bench.

Sports Central

For the active visitor, Smith Park offers several options. The multi-use field accommodates everything from impromptu frisbee games to organized sports meetups.

Playing into the evening? No problem. The park's backstop with lights means your baseball or softball games don't have to end when the sun starts to set - a nice touch for those long summer evenings.

Historic Smith Pavilion

At the heart of the park stands the Smith Pavilion, a piece of living history built in 1938 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). With its Colonial Revival style, stone veneered walls, and classic asphalt-shingled roof, it offers a glimpse into Milwaukee's past.

The pavilion can be reserved if you're planning a special gathering.

Amenities and Need-to-Knows

Planning a picnic? You'll find several picnic areas throughout the park, with options to reserve spaces for larger get-togethers. Note that to protect the grounds, you should use sand bags, weights, or water barrels instead of stakes when setting up any equipment.

You'll also find seasonal portable toilets available when nature calls.

Paths and Greenery

The walking paths winding through Smith Park offer a perfect route for your morning jog or an after-dinner stroll.

With its thoughtful layout of open meadows and shaded, tree-lined sections, you can find your perfect spot whether you're seeking sunshine or a cool retreat on a hot day.
