The participle that functions as an adjective in the given sentence is "walking."
To determine which participle functions as an adjective, we need to identify the word that describes or modifies a noun.
In this case, the words "walking" and "leads" are both participles, but only one of them functions as an adjective. The word "walking" describes the noun "path" by telling us what type of path it is - a walking path. Therefore, the participle "walking" functions as the adjective in this sentence.
