Homefield Park playground improvements

Homefield Park improvements

Improvements to the playground area of Homefield Park will be starting in 2025. This includes reshaping the area of the playground and replacing the play equipment. Worthing Borough Council is funding these improvements with a budget of £220,000.

For stage two of the project we plan to transform the lower section, which is often subject to flooding, into a planted area with sustainable drainage to take advantage of the natural rainwater capture in this area, as well as providing attractive planting and increased biodiversity.

What will the new playground look like?

The new playground is designed for fun, adventure, and inclusion. Children of all ages and abilities can enjoy a variety of activities - from climbing walls and rope bridges to jump pads and balance beams. The layout encourages exploration, active play, and social connection, while safe, accessible surfacing ensures comfort and security for all.

Over 700 people voted online or face-to-face to choose which playground was preferred and the majority chose 'Design B'.

How long will it take?

Works begin in October and will take approximately eight weeks.

Can the playground be accessed while the works take place?

The playground will be out of bounds while the works are taking place. The playground will be closed a short while before work starts to allow the parks team to remove some equipment.

Who is undertaking the work?

Eibe Play Ltd have been contracted to design and build the playground
