Morpeth Park was officially opened on September 11, 1929, following the completion of landscaping, formal gardens, cottages, and other enhancements. Subsequent additions included the pavilion in 1951 and the paddling pool in 1956. In 1972, Castle Morpeth borough received a floral clock as a gift, which now adorns the park's southeast area.

The William Turner Garden, established in 1999, is a notable feature of the park. This garden, funded by a generous £2.1 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, includes an aviary and serves as a tribute to William Turner, a renowned herbalist born in Morpeth around 1508. Turner's contributions to documenting British flora are well-celebrated.

Additionally, the eastern section of the park holds historical significance as Ha' Hill, the site of a former motte-and-bailey castle constructed by the de Merlay family in 1095.
