Parc de la Toison d'or, Urban park in northern Dijon, France.
Parc de la Toison d'or is an urban green space in northern Dijon featuring a large pond, children's play areas, and recreational courts. The grounds include facilities for mini-golf, table tennis, and roller skating spread across the landscape.
The site began as an amusement park in 1990 but faced financial challenges within a few years. It was converted into a public park in 1993 and has remained open to the community since then.
The park's name comes from the mythological Golden Fleece and ties the space to Burgundy's heritage. This connection appears in plaques and signage throughout the grounds, reminding visitors of the region's stories.
The park opens early in the morning and closes at dusk, making it best visited during daylight hours. Pathways are generally well-maintained and accessible, though the site can get busier on weekends and in fair weather.
The park contains animal enclosures where visitors can watch local wildlife, including ducks that gather near a waterfall feature in the pond. This living element adds character beyond the typical recreational grounds.
