"Preston Park is easily one of the biggest and most famous parks in Brighton, complete with 8 tennis courts, 2 basketball courts, 4 football pitches and a great children’s playground. It even has a softball pitch and a cycle velodrome!. But perhaps one of the biggest appeals to Preston park is something located right next door, the Rockery."

"In amongst this picturesque park, you’ll find the tranquil rockery which will bring an air of calm to your busy weekend in this non-stop city. Relaxing, beautiful and a surefire Insta winner, it’s well worth a little visit. @acreswildgardendesign"

"I can’t believe how long it took for me to visit this park, especially after living in Kemptown for a number of years, but I’m not convinced it’s easily one of the best parks in Brighton and easily the best in Kemptown. The pond is absolutely filled with life, where families come along and throw bread for the ducks, geese and swans who happily eat it all up. There are also plenty of squirrels that come down confidently and love being fed nuts."

"Queen’s Park is the perfect stop for a relaxing atmosphere and short walks. It has a pond in the centre with beautiful birds frolicking around, and a local herbalist has a wildlife garden. The park also has a clock tower dating back to 1915."

"Blakers park has been available to the public for almost 130 years, offering plenty of wildlife and a great place to walk the dog. If you visited during the 90’s, you could be forgiven for thinking North West section looked a bit rundown, however it has now been converted into a bluebell woods thanks to a group of volunteers, which look amazing in the Spring. As with many of the other parks in Brighton, this one also contains 2 tennis courts, however they are reserved for club games on Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings."

"Although compact in size, Blakers Park has a large number of features including a small friendly café, tennis courts and a recently renovated playground. The park also contains a distinctive Victorian clocktower."

"A gem of a park tucked away in the Fiveways area of Brighton, between Cleveland Road and Southdown Avenue. www.blakerspark.org.uk"

"I used to live right alongside this park and walked a neighbour’s dog here every weekend (Poppet) who was a well known staffy, with the cutest smile. The park was a decent size, while there are plenty of squirrels to feed in the trees. There are 8 tennis courts, however they are largely all used during the summer months, so you have to get there early if you fancy a game on a hot Saturday."

"St Ann's Well Gardens, not far from Hove seafront, is a treat for the tree-lover and will appeal to young and old alike. There is a wide range of native and exotic trees giving the gardens their unique character and providing shelter and tranquillity for wildlife."

"A flagship reserve of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, you can walk the 2.5-mile path around the marshes to see many different birds – including dark–bellied brent geese, redshanks, short–eared owls, warblers and wheatears.
