The park is Victorian and was opened in 1895 to provide the people of Maldon with a green space. [3] The original park lodge has been converted into Maldon Museum.

There is an ornamental lake with fountains, an amphitheatre, a splash park, a children’s play area, a lake for model boating, and riverside walks. This area also includes dedicated picnic areas with picnic tables, formal gardens with a pergola, sports pitches and changing rooms, skateboarding and BMX areas and three separate toilet blocks including disabled facilities.
