Smithfield Park receives mixed feedback from visitors, resulting in a moderate overall rating. Many users view the park primarily as a functional pedestrian link rather than a destination, noting its long stair climb between Mary Street and Nash Street. Fitness-minded visitors appreciate the stairs for leg workouts and stair runs, describing the climb as a great 'leg burn.' Some reviewers describe the area as a beautiful little park with terraced grass and trees, while others feel it offers little more than a path to the car park. Practical amenities like public toilets at the bottom and a shady chair for resting are mentioned as helpful features. Overall, it is seen as a convenient, albeit steep, shortcut through Gympie's center.
