Huggetts Lane Recreation Ground

Locals with little ones keep coming back to this quiet Eastbourne rec ground for good reason — the enclosed play area is genuinely well-kept, which isn’t something you can say about every park around here. It’s pitched just right for the 2–6 crowd, compact enough that you can actually keep an eye on them without constantly chasing. The open grass and football pitch mean older kids and dog walkers aren’t left with nothing to do either. It stays tidy year-round, which makes a real difference on a muddy school run afternoon.
