About Blakers Park
Blakers Park is a welcoming neighbourhood park in the Preston area of Brighton, managed by Brighton & Hove City Council and free to visit. Its recently renovated playground is a draw for local families, and the park also offers tennis courts and a small, friendly cafe. A distinctive clock tower adds character to the grounds. Public toilets are open daily from 10am to 4pm, and an accessible toilet is located next to the play area, which is convenient for families. The park is laid out on a gentle slope and has good accessibility throughout: all the facilities, including the cafe and tennis courts, are accessible, and the Preston Drove entrance is the most easily accessible way in. There is no on-site car park, so visitors use on-street parking in the surrounding streets. Compact and community-focused, Blakers Park is an easy local destination for play, a game of tennis or a relaxed coffee, and its renovated play equipment makes it especially appealing for younger children. The mix of play space, sport and refreshment in a small footprint gives it a friendly, village-green feel in the middle of the city.
