The Smith Creek Trail is a family-friendly path that winds its way from Petherton Road in the south-west, north to Stebonheath Park, east along the creek passing the Smithfield Railway Station, Smithfield Civic Gardens, Uley Road Sports Ovals and Craigmore Park, before leaving the creek and turning south at Otama Court. The trail extends south as far as Yorktown Road, Craigmore.

The majority of the trail is bitumen or pavers, making it perfect for children and families walking, scooting or cycling. Way-finding maps are located along the trail, with artwork, bollards and other points of interest along the way.

Hundreds of local residents were involved in upgrading the Smith Creek Trail into a more family-friendly space prior to launch of the 'new' trail in 2013. Children at local primary schools were involved in designing trail maps, artwork for the footpaths and trail markers along the trail. The trail maps along the trail show the locations of artwork and points of interest along the journey. The new trail bollards mark every 200 metres along the trail and installations such as bins and way-finding signage are in response to community needs expressed through the consultation process.

More recently, City of Playford was successful in obtaining grant funding to revegetate 11 hectares of the trail, from Craigmore to Stebonheath Park at Andrews Farm. This entailed the planting of over 4,000 plants and trees and an upgraded shared path which is now wheelchair-accessible.

The 2020/21 Smith Creek Trail Upgrade is a City of Playford project supported by the Playford Greening and Landcare Group and funding support of $59k from the Department of Environment and Water, and the Department of Planning Transport and Infrastructure through the Greener Neighbourhood Grants Program. This project has been delivered with the help of Trees For Life and Greening Australia SA.
