If you lived in Brighton as a kid.....

[ShorehamGull]

Mine was either Hollingbury, Blakers or Preston Park because I used to live at Fiveways, so I was in between the three.
It depened on the weather, but Preston Park was my favorite because of the large football field

 

[Easy 10]

I like Vale Park in Portslade bestest cos it has one of those long cable wires with a tyre hanging on it so you can go whizzing down except when me and my mate went on it and we fell off and he landed on my stomach and it made me sick everywhere.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

[Gwylan]

Blimey, you can spot the posh people on NSC.

I played in Moulsecoomb adventure playground, Wild Park, Moulsecoomb school playing fields and the Downs.

Woa, My dad grew up in Moulsecoomb and my grandparetns lived in Hodshrove Road so don't get all judgmental.
i used to play on that football pitch north of the leisure centre too though and wild park.

 

[Dawsey]

The Level in my younger days, then Preston Park once I discovered football. Mackie Park was a must during school lunch breaks.

I wasn't being judgmental, I was making an observation based on the fact that kids tend to play near where they grow up, and that if the options are Preston, Blakers, Hollingbury and Queens then the poll is obviously aimed at people who lived in the posher areas of Brighton. There's nothing judgmental about the fact that some parts of Brighton are posher than others, it's a simple fact of life.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Wouldn't have called Queens Park that posh when I went to school there..... but then again it wasn't Whitehawk or Patcham!

 

[Dawsey]

Went to Patcham High, never lived there though

Ooh it is now, darling.

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

I don't know which park I would've gone to, as I left when was only 3 months old.

 

[B.M.F]

Hove Park

Was a great place to play. especially after the hurricane when you could mess around no end with all the trees that had fallen.

Used to spend a lot of time playing in Stoneham park as well. what with their rubber football pitch and all

 

[sams dad]

As a Moulsecoomb boy my favourite park was Stanmer ,followed by the Wild Park.Also used to play football at the 67 centre in Hodshrove Rd. where we were sometimes coached by Albion favourite Steve Burtenshaw

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

Has to be preston park. Anyone remember that climbing frame they had shaped a bit like the eifel tower.

Quality fun.

 

[fosters headband]

Blakers park, had two tree's just the width of goal posts.

 

[Kev the Ape]

i loved Hove park what did'nt make it on the list.

 

[The Maharajah of Sydney]

Nevill Playing Fields & Hove Park .
Loved "The Rockery" opposite Preston Park
when I was very young . Please tell me it's still standing and hasn't been redeveloped .
Never heard of Blakers Park --- where's that ?

No, the Rockery's still there.

Blaker's Park is up the hill from Preston Park, nearer to Fiveways. It's between Preston Drove and Stanford Avenue.

 

[dougdeep]

No, the Rockery's still there.

The council have really let things go at the rockery,I had a look the other Saturday as I walked back to London Road station after the match.There were no fish to be seen and the flower beds were not a patch on what they were in the past.
