Ghiloni Park is Marlborough's largest all-purpose city park, combining soccer and softball fields, a splash pad, a dek hockey rink, and basketball courts with a half-mile nature loop that connects to roughly 100 acres of city forest land. It works equally as a sports-league venue and a place to just walk the woods.
