Preston Park, Public park in Brighton, England.
Preston Park spans 63 acres with formal gardens, lawns, recreational areas, tennis courts, bowling greens, and a central pond in Brighton.
Brighton Corporation purchased the land from William Bennett-Stanford in 1883 for £50,000, funded by a local bookmaker's generous bequest.
The park regularly hosts major city events, including the Brighton Marathon start, Pride festival celebrations, and weekly parkrun gatherings.
Two cafes and multiple restroom facilities serve visitors throughout the park, with accessible pathways connecting different recreational zones.
The park contains Britain's oldest velodrome, constructed in 1877 by the British Army with four unequal straights measuring 579 meters per lap.
