Queens Park

This is the closest park to the city center and also the most picturesque and offering the widest variety of attractions - including open-air performances of Shakespeare plays in the summer. There is also an excellent children's play area, a cafe, tennis courts and a well-designed small lake, complete with ducks waiting to be fed. It is all landscaped with gentle hills and magnificent trees. It is a bit of a climb to get here from central Brighton though, so be warned.
