Campbell Park is a district in east-central and south-central Milton Keynes, England, the central park for Milton Keynes, and a ward of Central Milton Keynes Parish Council.
Despite the loss of its eponymous district to another parish, the name Campbell Park continues to be used for a civil parish that includes other districts. According to the 2001 census the parish (then including the Park) had a population of 13,364.
The park, also known as Campbell Park, takes up the larger part of the district. It was named in honour of the first chairman of Milton Keynes Development Corporation, Lord Campbell of Eskan. It stretches from the Theatre end of Central Milton Keynes down to the Grand Union Canal. A marina is planned for the canal here and it is the planned junction for the proposed Bedford Arm.
Campbell Park is a civil parish in the borough of Milton Keynes. The parish is bounded by Childs Way (H6) to the north, the River Ouzel to the east, the A5 to the west, and Chaffron Way to the south. The parish includes the Fishermead, Oldbrook, Springfield, Winterhill, and The Woolstones grid-squares. The parish was originally known as Woolstone-cum-Willen and was formed on 1 April 1934 as a merger of Great Woolstone, Little Woolstone and Willen. The parish was part of Newport Pagnell Rural District until it became part of the borough of Milton Keynes in 1974. The parish was redefined in 2012, when the districts of Campbell Park (sic), Newlands and Willen were reallocated to other parishes. Despite the loss of its eponymous district, the Parish Council continues to use its name.
