About Hove Park
Hove Park is one of Hove's best-loved green spaces, a large and popular park managed by Brighton & Hove City Council. It is always open, all year round, and free to visit. The park has a children's playground, and families also enjoy the well-known miniature railway that runs within the grounds. The Hove Park Cafe is open daily from 8.30am to 5.30pm and is wheelchair accessible, with toilets in a separate building close by, open 10am to 4pm and including accessible facilities. The park is well set up for everyone: accessible pathways run throughout, with gentle sloping paths and alternative ramps provided alongside steps, plus many benches to rest on. It is a favourite with local residents and dog walkers, and the wide lawns give plenty of room for games and picnics. There is no dedicated car park on-site, so visitors use on-street parking in the surrounding roads. With its mix of play, open space, refreshments and the miniature railway, Hove Park makes an easy and enjoyable family outing.
