The park is built on land that was once part of a historic flood plain known as 'The Level' or 'The Brooks'.
The current landscape design was intended to replicate the Victorian park style with modern functional updates.
The skatepark facility is one of the largest concrete urban skate installations in the United Kingdom.
The park holds a Green Flag Award, recognizing its high standards of park management and community engagement.
An on-site café is housed within a sustainably designed building that utilizes ground source heat pumps.
The splash pad area features automated water jets that operate during warm-weather months.
The Level is a multi-purpose public park located in central Brighton, featuring a major concrete skatepark and a seasonal splash pad. The park underwent a significant £2.2 million restoration project completed in 2013, which modernized its facilities and landscaping. Its design prioritizes accessibility, incorporating wide pathways and various seating areas throughout the grounds. The central lawn functions as an open community space for casual recreation and local events. The skatepark is designed for all skill levels, from beginners to experienced skaters. A dedicated children’s playground sits near the splash pad area. The site serves as a green corridor linking northern Brighton to the city center.
The elevated viewing platform overlooking the skatepark provides a clear perspective of the entire facility.
Visit during the morning if you are interested in using the skatepark before it reaches peak capacity.
Check the local council website for scheduled community events which can occupy large sections of the central lawn.
Bring a towel and change of clothes if you plan to use the splash pad facility.
Do not leave personal belongings unattended on the benches or near the skatepark area.
The splash pad is only operational during the summer season and may be switched off during periods of water restriction.
Helmets and pads are strongly recommended for the skatepark; standard park courtesy regarding noise and litter applies.
