Visiting Smith
SMITH The Kids’ Play Place in the Park offers children 10 and under a FREE, safe place to play. The six acre Playground includes the Ann Newman Giant Wooden Slide and more than 50 pieces of unique, age-appropriate and accessible pieces of play equipment. The 24,000 square foot Playhouse provides a space for children 5 and under and gives them a chance to “drive” the train, “cook” in the kitchen, ride tricycles in Smithville and much, much more.
