The floodplains of the River Ouse were protected when the modern town of Milton Keynes was built from the 1960s onwards. They formed the basis for a number of linear parks, of which Loughton Valley is one.

The result is a long and thin park that runs along almost the entire western side of the town centre. Bridleways and paths wind their way through the park and there are a number of lakes, woodland areas and even an extensively excavated Roman villa.
