Smith Park is a park in Middletown, Connecticut, United States, which was acquired by the town in 1974. It is located on the north side of Country Club Road in Middletown. Comprising 50 acres (200,000 m2) of land, it includes ball fields, a playground, hiking trails, horseshoe pits, shuffleboards, and a pavilion.

Permission can be obtained from the Middletown Park and Recreation Commission to host a family outing or company picnic at the pavilion, though handicapped access is limited. The park is closed at sunset and the gates are locked.
