A participle that modifies would have to be the adjective. A participle that is an adjective ends in -ing; the noun that it modifies usually follows directly after it, for example 'fishing pole' or 'Bowling ball'.

A participle that is not and adjective is a verb: I was bowling with my brother.

A noun form ending in -ing is a verbal noun called a gerund: Fishing is my hobby.
