No. 16 of 41 outdoor spots on r/brighton, from 11 locals across 13 threads.

100% would send a mate. Still recommended in 2025.

A relaxed, small park with a distant sea view, popular for reading, jogging, table tennis and outdoor theatre, and handy for the Booth Museum right opposite. Also used for family activities like Sunday drop-in football, and the surrounding streets go big for Halloween.

A quiet walk, jog or family day out

What locals say

Top of East Brighton Park gives a nice view of Kemptown, Hollingbury Skatepark and Dyke Road Park also have nice views. Stanmer Park can also be accessed via Coldean. Also see The Level for views of ket/bald eagles/Stevie G at the bus stop etc.

Go to the booth museum. It's free and a good couple of hours of oddities and right opposite dyke Road Park so can grab an ice cream and enjoy the weather…

You could sign her up to some clubs, depending what she is interested in. Then you can chat on the sidelines. There is a drop in football session at Dyke Road Park on a Sunday morning for example. Climbing sessions at Boulder Brighton (actually in Portslade) were really friendly. Hove Lagoon do kids water sports sessions. Beach volleyball at yellowwave. It depends what she is into. Maybe try a few different things. Or just go to the park/beach and hangout. But…
