Milton Country Park is a country park created by South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC) in 1993 from old gravel workings just to the east of the village of Milton. Financial difficulties meant that after first threatening to close it and a long campaign to save it SCDC finally decided to hand over the Park to Cambridge Sport Lakes Trust on 31st March 2008.
The Park is on the northern edge of Cambridge and is easy to get to by bike, bus or car. It offers a varied natural habitat interlaced with a network of over two miles of paths around the park. We have two maps online: a basic schematic map and an annotated Google map.
There is a play area for children, a sensory garden for the blind and partially sighted and the main paths are wheelchair and buggy accessible. Dogs are also welcome and can be walked off lead north of the 13th public drain. You must also clean up after your dog using the bins provided.
The park is open at all times. The car park is open every day except Christmas Day, from 8:00am. Closing times vary throughout the year, but can be found on display in the car park. Opening times of the Visitor Centre vary seasonally.
There is also a café serving hot and cold drinks and snacks throughout the year.
