The Park lies within Lesser Poland Voivodeship. It takes its name from the village of Rudno.
There are two nature reserves in the park:
- Rudno Potok Valley – a forest and landscape reserve, established in 2001; it includes a fragment of a well-preserved alder forest and geological sites of the former porphyry quarry.
- Kajasówka – an inanimate nature reserve, established in 1962; the unique tectonic framework covered with xerothermic vegetation is protected.
The park is part of the Jurassic Landscape Parks Complex.
