Sugar Hill has opened its 9.2-acre Gold Mine Park, which preserves the entrance to what was once one of more than a dozen gold mines in the area while also adding a new leg to the Sugar Hill Greenway. The park is part of a 16.5-mile trail, with Gold Mine Park adding a piece that stretches from the park’s entrance on Level Creek Road to Whitehead Road. With the opening of this leg, Sugar Hill has completed five miles of its greenway trail, constituting the first phase of the trail. The greenway provides an excellent opportunity for the community to explore nature and engage in physical activity.
