Very Gentle and wonderful place. If you are a nature lover, definitely you will fall in love. It's wide natural view make the environment calm and relaxing. Natural grass and big tress makes the environment more breathing. There is some play ground you can practice...

I visited here in May 2025. This is a very large public park just outside central Brighton. It has lots to explore with some formal gardens, cafe and sometimes a food market.

I had a lovely stroll across this park during an early afternoon in the winter, covered in rich trees with green and yellow leaves! Some have a larger width than others and the plants alongside the courts are pretty, much grass can be walked through to the uphill side of the park. The architecture is nice with the clock monument, miniature hut and three-window cafe building behind sloped stairs!

Preston Park is one of the most beautiful green spaces around Brighton & Hove , and beyond. Its outstanding beauty is, in my opinion, due to a large number of mature trees made of different species. This brings in all year round change of colours. You can go for a regular walks and each time there's something new to see. If you are a lover of nature please have your camera or, a mobile, with you and take photographs of your favourite places there. I usually focus on all those magnificent trees and try to capture their beauty in all seasons.

Fantastic place to bring the children nice long walks and just across the road there's a rock garden that the little ones can have an adventure going up and down the rock path. There's a sandy area with swings and slides and a few cafes on site what more do you need for a great day out
