$params = $currentMenuItem->params;
// Access param you want
$yourParameter = $params->get('yourParameter');

2. To access Menu parameters from a known Itemid

// Get Itemid from URL
$input  = JFactory::getApplication()->input;

$menuItem = $app->getMenu()->getItem($itemId);
// Get params for menuItem
$params = $menuItem->params;
// Access param you want
