Confirmed from Golden Hills Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Neighborhood park with tennis courts, a playground, and a basketball court, plus picnic tables.

“Beautiful well maintained park with spectacular view of My Diablo from the Eastern ridge.”
“Beautiful well maintained park with spectacular view of My Diablo from the Eastern ridge.”
Great little community park with 2 play structures, basketball court, tennis court and grassy field and a walking path around it and flush bathrooms. It also has a small building you can rent for $65/h 3 hour minimum. Only downside is the picnic tables are not shaded.
Very nice park. Lots of shade trees. Little kiddos and big kids play structures and swings. Large grass field.
Nice little neighborhood park. Clean and safe with playground and some trails. Not really the place to go and celebrate a big family birthday because the limited space. Parking is limited.
Beautiful well maintained park with spectacular view of My Diablo from the Eastern ridge. There really is a Hidden Lake here, a beautiful spot for photography. Trails are pretty easy, good for almost everyone.
