Visitors can enjoy walking, running, cycling, and exploring the natural and designed topography of the park. There are also public art installations, water features, a cricket pitch, and open-air auditorium to enjoy.
The park has Grade II status by Historic England due to its historic interest and innovative architectural design. It is one of the largest parks laid out in England in the 20th and 21st Century, blending elements from the 18th and 19th Century into a contemporary design. The original vision was for it to be the cultural heart of the city with sculptures, art installations, performances, and temporary shows.
Visitors can expect to see wild flower-rich meadows, sheep grazing at certain times of the year, a belvedere for panoramic views, the iconic Light Pyramid, and the Milton Keynes Rose for commemoration and celebration. There are also public art pieces and sculptures to explore within the park.
Visitors can enjoy off-road cycling trails suitable for Mountain, Cyclo-cross, or Gravel bikes, as well as orienteering courses and kite-flying on the events plateau. The slopes of the belvedere are also popular for sledging during winter.
Visitors can find free car parking at designated locations near the park. The nearest public toilets are at MK Gallery, and cafés and restaurants are located in the city centre or at Willen Lake South. Bus stops are also conveniently located near park entrances for easy access.
