Nice little park, very small but nice, and right on the beach. Small cafe there too, and toilets. Just "nice" :)

Great park for rugby, slightly less so for cricket as the square boundaries are very short while the straight boundaries are very good. The fantastic Eastbourne RSA is at the northwestern end of the ground and well worth a visit when it is open.
