Campbell Park, Grade II listed park in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom
Campbell Park is a recreational park in Milton Keynes featuring multiple levels, pathways, gardens and meadows connected by terraced landscapes and gentle slopes. The space includes various areas designed for different recreational activities and is accessed through an interconnected network of walking routes.
The park was designed in the 1970s under Neil Higson's leadership at Milton Keynes Development Corporation, with the final master plan released in 1980. This design reflects post-war urban ideals that placed leisure and community at the center of planning.
The park serves as a gathering place for the community, hosting events and bringing together visitors from all backgrounds throughout the year. The carefully maintained green spaces show how a modern park shapes daily life and creates room for shared activities.
Multiple entrances surround the park with parking areas and connections to the town's network of walking and cycling routes. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear as the varied terrain includes some steeper sections.
The park uses grazing sheep to naturally maintain the central meadows, an unusual approach in an urban setting. This method combines ecology with practical resource management in a creative way.
