Campbell Park is a civil parish in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. 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, § Newlands, § Oldbrook, § Springfield, § Winterhill, Willen and The Woolstones grid-squares. The parish was originally known as Woolstone-cum-Willen,^[2] and was formed on 1 April 1934 as a merger of Great Woolstone, Little Woolstone and Willen.^[3] The parish was part of Newport Pagnell Rural District until the latter became part of the Borough of Milton Keynes in 1974.^[3] 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. As of December 2022^[update], the parish council is consulting on changing its name (to "Secklow Community Council").^[4]

Fishermead

Fishermead is named after a field called Fishers Mead. The fishing theme is continued in the street naming. All of the streets are named after Cornish fishing villages. There are two schools in the area, The Willows (formerly Newlyn Place) first school and Jubilee Wood School (formed by the amalgamation of Penwith first school and Meadfurlong middle school in 2012). Fishermead is known for its many trees and parks, with several local shops including a Co-op.

The townscape in Fishermead is characterised by rectangular blocks of 100–150 metres in length, backing onto shared "garden squares".^[5]

Newlands

Newlands is primarily a leisure and recreational area between the Grand Union Canal and Brickhill Street (which separates it from Willen Lake). Its more significant elements are Gulliver's Land (a small theme park for younger children) and the Tree Cathedral, in which trees echo the layout of Norwich Cathedral.

Oldbrook

Oldbrook is separated from Central Milton Keynes by Child's Way (H6). Despite its proximity to the central business district of Milton Keynes, it has its own local centre comprising various shops and restaurants including Lidl, Domino's Pizza, Tesco Express, and Pizza Hut. Oldbrook is also home to Milton Keynes Christian Centre which is one of the larger churches in Milton Keynes. There is one school in Oldbrook, Oldbrook First School, situated next door to The Cricketers pub on Oldbrook Blvd.

All of the streets are named following a cricketing theme, most after English cricketers.

Springfield

Springfield is a residential area situated close to Central Milton Keynes. It sits between the districts of Fishermead, Peartree Bridge and the Woolstones. There are two schools in the area, Orchard and Shepherdswell Academy (Formerly Orchard School and Shepherdswell First School).

Both schools are now run by EMAT (East Midlands Academy Trust). The headteachers of the two schools are Mrs Ruth Ryan (Shepherdswell) and Mr Callum Brown (Orchard). Orchard Academy received its best Ofsted ever in June 2014 when the school was judged to be Good with many outstanding features. Orchard is an ever growing school, becoming a three form entry school in September 2015. The council granted permission in July 2017 for the school to expand, creating an additional 8 classrooms and a new small hall.

Springfield's local pub was recently closed; but it boasts a newly refurbished community centre and a One Stop convenience store. The Grand Union Canal runs by Springfield into nearby Peartree Bridge.

Willen

Willen is in the northeast of the parish: the village is separated from the rest of the parish by Willen Lake (which takes up most of its two grid squares). The other notable features of the district include its church (designed by the polymath Robert Hooke), the Milton Keynes Peace Pagoda and associated Buddhist temple, and the Willen Hospice.

The Woolstones

Great Woolstone and Little Woolstone are two historic villages in modern Milton Keynes, ceremonial Buckinghamshire, called jointly 'Woolstone' or 'The Woolstones', that form the heart of a new district of that name.^[6][7]

Winterhill

Winterhill is the most westerly district of the parish, butting up as it does to the West Coast Main Line, a little to the south of Milton Keynes Central railway station. It is a small district, split from the rest (Knowlhill) of its natural grid square by the railway line and the A5. It consists primarily of 'big shed' retail outlets and campus style offices.
