The 73 acres (0.30 km2) park consists mostly of woodland, principally the Spring Wood, and open meadows.

[2] The park includes 450 metres (1,480 ft) of the Obelisk Walk, a steeply-rising linear walkway that forms an optical illusion of a stone obelisk against a dark sky when viewed from the gates at the end of Wellingtonia Avenue in the Biddulph Grange gardens.

It is ashlar with plane coping, a segmented arch, rounded piers, and parapet walls with carved ends.

[4] The park was originally part of the estate of Biddulph Grange, and was designed in the Victorian era and early 20th century.

[4] A hydroelectric scheme was installed at the site circa 1900; it was restored in 2000, and is used to provide power to the visitor centre and local area.
