Blakers Park

About Blakers Park

Blakers Park is a well-loved and well-used community space in the Fiveways area of Brighton.

Although compact it has a large number of features including a small friendly café, tennis courts and a recently renovated playground.

The park also contains a distinctive Victorian clock tower.

Things to see and do

Victorian clock tower

In the middle of the park is its most recognisable feature, the 50-foot-high clock tower.

Unveiled on 15 September 1896 and donated by the park’s founder Mayor Alderman J.G. Blaker, the tower is made of steel, cast iron and finished in bronze.

Today it remains a main focal point of the park, offering a unique area to enjoy some food and drink from the nearby cafe.

Accessibility

Laid out on a gentle slope, the park has good accessibility throughout. All the facilities including the café and tennis courts are accessible. There are plenty of benches in the park.

The Preston Drove entrance to the park is the most easily accessible. Both Southdown Road and Cleveland Road entrances lack pavements on the sides that border the park.

Only on-street parking is available.

An accessible toilet is available next to the play area.
