Preston Park, Public park in Brighton, England.
Preston Park is a 63-acre green space in Brighton with formal gardens, open lawns, and a central pond at its heart. The grounds feature tennis courts and bowling greens alongside recreational zones for different types of activities.
Brighton Corporation acquired the land from William Bennett-Stanford in 1883, using funds from a wealthy bookmaker's bequest to complete the purchase. This acquisition established the space as a major public asset for the growing city.
The park regularly hosts major city events, including the Brighton Marathon start, Pride festival celebrations, and weekly parkrun gatherings.
Two cafes and several restroom facilities are spread throughout the grounds for visitor convenience. Accessible pathways link all areas together, making it straightforward to navigate and explore different sections.
The grounds contain Britain's oldest velodrome, built in 1877 by the British Army with four unequal straights that measure 579 meters per lap. This historic track stands as one of the earliest surviving examples of its kind in the country.
