The park sits in a relatively quiet and peaceful part of Clinton, and is conveniently on the way to historic old town and the community nature center. It also sits along the Natchez Trace Parkway so easy convenience getting on or off the Trace near the park. Features far more open space and area to roam around in than many parks I've seen in Clinton.

I saw several people out for a walk and individuals who came and parked and were just sitting in their cars. There are many squirrels so as you walk you constantly hear rustling in the leaves and trees as the squirrels are very active. The park appears to be well kept with the trash being emptied and the grounds kept clean. There are also picnic tables, and children's swings and slides. I give it five stars.

The park is…read moresmall, but located centrally downtown-- walking distance from lots of great eats like La Finestra, Basil's and Kiefer's. In the park, you'll find lots of grassy patches and trees providing plenty of shade. There are plenty of benches as well as little tables you can sit at with a friend. There's a big gazebo you could post up in with a big group of friends or coworkers. There's a large stage, and from time to time festivals and shows are hosted in Smith Park. There are water fountains in the park. At night, the park can get a bit sketchy but most of Downtown is empty at night anyway which is a bummer. During the day, this really is a lovely place to meet up with friends and share a picnic or just sit and enjoy the sunshine. I only wish there was bike parking inside the park!

There's a loop walking trail that's very nice and paved. If you come when the azaleas are in full bloom in March, it is so beautiful. Pink, white, light pink of azaleas all throughout the park. Seeing the large pond with the ducks is pure tranquility. It's so nice to relax while watching nature. There's a boardwalk that you can walk on. Clean restrooms on site under a pavilion. Huge parking lot too on both sides. I am telling you I was so amazed that a park like this exists here. I'd normally find a ton of parks like this in Houston. I'm glad the City of Flowood built this for the community. Amazing. I brought my boyfriend here and he loved it too! I didn't map out how many miles you can accumulate by walking the trail the first time, but I think that if you walk multiple times on the trail you can max out on 10k steps. Come check it out! It is a lovely park.

I would not go to this zoo. We don't even get out of our vehicle because it looked so run down that…read moreit didn't look like it was even open. I have never seen a zoo look so unkept starting at the entrance gate and going into the parking area. It is in a really bad part of town. I feel bad for the animals if they even have any.? We were so looking forward to stopping here for a break in our trip from Gulf Shores, AL to Arkansas.

This is, without a doubt, the worst zoo I've ever visited--and possibly the worst in the country…read more I've seen better conditions at small private facilities. If Joe Exotic went to jail for the state of his zoo, then the City of Jackson might want to take a hard look in the mirror. The animal enclosures are shockingly small, and the entire facility looks like something out of a horror movie. Neglect is the only word that comes to mind. Many of the exhibits are completely empty--some filled with trash, overgrown vegetation, and spider webs. Nearly all of the food stands are boarded up, and the office buildings appear abandoned. Customer service was no better--the woman at the front was short and rude, and that was before we even got inside. The gift shop is almost completely empty, with barely anything on the shelves. As for the animals--there are hardly any to see. The boardwalk, which leads to the few remaining exhibits, is partially closed, and the section that's open has unmarked, foot-sized holes that are a serious hazard. The structure shakes and sinks with every step, and the handrails are rotting and dangerously loose. The enclosures themselves raise serious animal welfare concerns. The Asiatic bear's habitat is far too small. The otter has no water to swim in. The cougar is visibly overweight. The beaver's pool is so low, it's essentially dry. To make matters worse, I overheard zoo employees openly complaining about people who speak negatively about the zoo. They insisted there was nothing wrong with the conditions and reassured each other that the remaining animals were just fine--as if that somehow justified the state of everything else. We visited on a beautiful spring Saturday and were two of maybe seven people in the entire zoo. That kind of attendance speaks volumes. This place feels completely forgotten--by its management, by the city, and by even the most basic standards of care. It's deeply concerning and frankly heartbreaking. Something needs to change.
