About Saunders Park
Saunders Park is a welcoming green space off Lewes Road in Brighton, managed by Brighton & Hove City Council and free to visit. It is always open and a popular stop for families, thanks to a children's playground that includes general play equipment and a dedicated toddler area, making it suitable for a range of ages. The park also has a paddling pool, with a new fenced area around it, which is a summer favourite with younger children. The on-site cafe, Laz' in the Park, serves primarily locally sourced food and drink and houses the park's public toilets, including a disabled toilet, which are open when the cafe is open. Being close to Lewes Road, the park is easy to reach from the surrounding neighbourhoods and the wider city. Parking details are not confirmed on the council listing, so on-street parking in the surrounding roads is the likely option. With a playground, toddler area, paddling pool, cafe and accessible toilet in a convenient location, Saunders Park offers a well-rounded family outing and serves as a valuable local park for the busy Lewes Road corridor of Brighton.
