Queens Park is set in a sheltered valley, formerly a Victorian pleasure garden known as Brighton Park first laid in 1824 and covers 15.32 acres. It was later renamed in honour of Queen Adelaide and was formally opened to the public on 10 August 1892.
There's a lake with ducks to feed, playground, tennis courts, sandpit, wildlife garden and scented garden.
Queen's Park is perhaps the most beautiful of Brighton's ornamental parks. The central valley was used as a roller-skating rink in the latter nineteenth century, but it was converted into a delightful lake. The red-brick and stone clock tower was erected by William Cobley, and was dedicated by the mayor, Sir John Otter, on 24 June 1915.
