Patrick Smith Park
Creekside grass field at the foot of Canyon Road
About this park
Patrick Smith sits where the Santa Fe River Park meets Canyon Road, with a broad grass field, a stream running alongside, and giant old trees for shade. It's a leashed, dog-friendly neighborhood park rather than a dedicated off-leash spot. The draw is the creekside walk and the trailhead for strolling through the gallery district.
