About
Located at the heart of Milton Keynes, Campbell Park hosts many of Milton Keynes’ major festivals and events. Its imaginative mix of formal gardens, water features, woodland and open pasture mean it’s an ideal spot to enjoy the changing seasons. At the top of park is a memorial to one of Milton Keynes’ founders, Lord 'Jock' Campbell of Eskan, reading 'If you seek his memorial look around'. A new piece of public art, the MK Rose, created by internationally renowned artist Gordon Young, was installed on the site of the former fountain and pond and officially launched in November 2013. Nearby, the Belvedere, offers views into Bedfordshire. Look out, too, for the labyrinth with a working sundial at its centre. Chain Reaction, the distinctive sculpture overlooking Campbell Park, celebrates all those who played a part in Milton Keynes’ creation. It is one of several artworks in the park which are also part of the Milton Keynes Art-walk.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I was too busy enjoying the mobility scooter trail around the many joys of the park to bother digging out my mobile to take photos

Stumbled across this beautiful spot so very close to the city when I was wandering around. Who knew Milton Keynes had this to offer. Well worth a visit to the pyramid to see the view
Just glorious.

Lovely park with lots of art statues to see. Peaceful and quiet. There is a mix of open areas, garden areas and wood paths.

Great scenic park a stones throw away from the Milton Keynes shoppping centre with links to Gullivers and the new pub Warbler on the Wharf. It's got quiet spots to sit back, read and have time to yourself. They have free roaming sheep at set times in the year. They have festivals here too. It's right next to the new Hotel La Tour as well. Basically a huge park in the MK City Centre

Campbell Park is a glorious open space and well worth exploring. I have been to Milton Keynes many times and to my shame I have never visited this park until now.
I would definitely recommend checking it out if you enjoy open spaces. There are plenty of paths to walk along as well as water features and the Grand Union Canal flows alongside the edge of the park.
There is a small amphitheatre and a few sculptures to discover. It is only about 5 minutes walk from the shopping centre and there is plenty of parking there although you have to pay for it.
Well worth visiting to enjoy.

Since lockdown I've visited Campbell Park a number of times, there are lots of different things to see around such as the light pyramid and the MK rose. Worth a visit!

An excellent mid town park that can be used for any number of activities from a casual walk, a run or even a lap or two of the Cylocross track.
Very rural feeling when down off the beacon top, but yet only 5 minutes from the primary shopping a business districts of Milton Keynes.
Lots of Artwork scattered around the park and nearby footpaths
The Parks trust do an amazing job at maintaining Campbell park and all the other parks in and around Milton Keynes

Campbell is beautiful, I was wondering if there is any good spots for views from your car there? Like Dunstable downs.

Only option is go to the top of the La Tour Hotel and look over Campbell Park. There is the top of the hill in Campbell Park but nothing for cars l.
How long or wide is Campbell Park?

I would say allow good 2-3 hours to walk from one side to the other and back. This wouldn't include stopping breaks which you may have at the pub or for a picnic. It's a lovely walk tho!

Park next to the Grand Union Canal at the bottom of Campbell Park. There’s usually space and it’s free.
