A public park that lies between the one way system of the A23 as it heads south to the Old Steine. Originally an area of marshy ground that lay next to the Whalesborne, Brighton's old river, it had become an open space by the 18th century and was enclosed in 1787 and used for fairs, exhibitions and cricket. The space was turned into a private park around 1819 and became public in the 1890s. There are two parts of the gardens, the northern and southern enclosures which are split by North Road. This forms part of the former.
