In addition to being a beautiful, well maintained park, it is adjacent to the Eno River Walkway, which is spectacular.

Anything you would want in a park, Gold Park has it. I never think of this as a tourist attraction but it could be to stop and take a break and have a picnic. There are trails that are lovely and there is a playground for children. It is a great respite if you have active kids and need a break and can watch them at the same time. I love the trails.

With plenty of free parking, this is a perfect starting point for a walk along the Hillsborough Riverwalk.
The park has play equipment, bathrooms, soccer field and a fenced dog park and plenty of trash cans.

Came here with our bicycles and, on the advice of a park-regular, we followed the paved trail that winds around this 24 acre park, along the Enos River, and then becomes the 1.5 mile long RiverWalk. Had we had mountain bikes, would have continued on to the dirt path that goes on for another 5 miles onto private property but that area is open to walkers and mountain bikes (read the signs at the far end of the RiverWalk to access this area). Gold Park has something for nearly everyone and is "thoughtful" in some of its design, such as the Bee Hotel, which is made up of natural materials with spaces for bees to hunker down and feel safe. There is a good sized dog park, baseball field, playground, large, grassy area, rest rooms, soda/water machines, water fountains, and what is especially nice are the numerous entrances from/to the town of Hillsborough for those without cars. Come take a walk along the Enos River and find the gorgeous gazebo-like structure made entirely of saplings that looks like it grew up from below the ground, and erected by 150+ volunteers. It's a beauty!

A very nice park by any standard. This park has play areas for munchkins, play area for seniors and all levels in between. There is also a nice covered area for gatherings such as picnics, family reunions, etc.. This park also has two play areas for dogs, little ones to the right, big ones to the left, (no politics suggested) where your pets may run and cavort with others sans leash. Bags are provided by the park so that owners will be able to bag and properly dispose of their pets leavings. Ya'll have a good time now, ya hear!

This is a really nice, well-maintained park in Hillsborough near the Eno River. Has open fields, picnic shelters, large playground for kids, dog park, baseball field, paved paths and boardwalks/bridges over creeks. The paved paths connect into Hillsborough's Riverwalk, which runs along the Eno; you could have a really long walk/hike into downtown if you want to! Plenty of parking. Leashed pets allowed.

Gold Park is such a fun, family-friendly park that's perfect to visit while you're at the Riverwalk. There are fields for running and playing soccer, Frisbee, baseball...any sport you want! And there are even two fenced in areas to let your dogs run around in. Gold Park has swings for your littlest kids, and climbing areas and slides for your bigger ones. Bring a picnic and have lunch, or just come to play. We will be going back to this park for years to come!
