Children's playgrounds
The council recognises the importance of play as part of children's development, which is shown in the range of equipment in the city's 45 playgrounds.
The largest play areas in Brighton & Hove are located at Hove Park, St Ann's Well Gardens, Preston Park and Queens Park. There are also play areas along the seafront, all with water play, at the Lagoon, West Pier and Madeira Drive. Use this link for public transport information.
Cityparks manages and maintains the play areas to ensure they are clean and safe to use, whilst still challenging for the users. All playgrounds are inspected on a regular basis.
The council is undertaking a two year development programme to improve the quality of the city's play spaces, making them more challenging and innovative for children and teenagers in Brighton and Hove. For more information on this project go to the my play space pages.
