About Dyke Road Park
Dyke Road Park sits on the border between Brighton and Hove and is a neat, well-kept park managed by Brighton & Hove City Council. It is always open and free to visit. The park's children's playground was improved as part of the council's citywide playground programme, and there are tennis courts and a formal rose garden to enjoy alongside the open lawns. The Dyke Road Park Cafe is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm and at weekends from 10am to 6pm, with public toilets attached to the cafe and open during cafe hours. Accessibility is good overall, with pathways that are accessible throughout and have no steps; the cafe's outside seating is also accessible. The one exception is the rose garden, where the paths are laid out in uneven crazy paving that may cause difficulties for some visitors. There is no general on-site car park, but designated accessible parking bays are available on Dyke Road and on-street parking can be found nearby. With its combination of play equipment, sport, gardens and refreshments in an easily reached location, Dyke Road Park is a dependable choice for a family visit.
