This postcard is a color illustration of Smith Park in Jackson, Mississippi, showing the sidewalk that leads between the playground equipment and trees of the park. A gazebo is situated behind some trees and a swing set on the left and a church is seen behind some trees, park benches, and a swing set on the right.
