Beach wheelchairs and rollator

Book a beach wheelchair or rollator in Worthing

Beach wheelchairs and a rollator are free to hire from Splashpoint Leisure Centre.

We have two specially-designed beach wheelchairs (a child's wheelchair and an adult's wheelchair) available to help families and groups enjoy time together on Worthing's seafront, supported by a rollator to aid personal mobility.

The wheelchairs and rollator are designed to help visitors with mobility issues to more easily access uneven surfaces, such as our shingle beach, thanks to their large inflatable wheels.

The equipment is stored at Splashpoint Leisure Centre in Brighton Road, with the building's Changing Places facility available for use when borrowing the equipment.

The beach access equipment can be used on the promenade and the shingle.

Due to the nature of our steep shingle beach, moving the wheelchairs and rollator back up to the top of the promenade can be challenging. We therefore encourage anyone wanting to use the equipment on the shingle to make sure they have sufficient assistance in advance.

The user, carer or parent hiring the equipment is responsible for assessing whether the wheelchairs and rollator can be safely used and returned.

Note: If you are unable to manoeuvre the equipment back up the beach, this will result in an emergency situation and you will need to dial 999 and ask for the fire service (and medical assistance if necessary).

Bookings must be made in advance. To reserve a slot please use our online booking form:
