To celebrate more than 40 years of Milton Keynes’ Campbell Park, The Parks Trust in partnership with Living Archive have created a new trail for visitors to discover more about the city’s central park.
Supported by funding from Milton Keynes City Council and MK Community Foundation, the trail includes special interviews – to watch, listen to, and read – with some of the people behind the design of Campbell Park and those who care for the park today.
There are also historic plans and drawings from the archives that show the vision of the organisation that created MK – Milton Keynes Development Corporation.
Aimed at adults and older children, the interactive trail can be started from anywhere in the park. There are special trail boards, which include scannable QR codes.
Sarah Griffiths, outdoor learning and interpretation manager at The Parks Trust, said: “From the ambitious ideas of the 1970s to today’s modern urban park, this trail brings the story of Campbell Park to life. The central park has been a key part of the development of Milton Keynes and it’s great to be able to share stories from behind the scenes.”
