Homefield Park playground consultation 2024

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 proposing to fund these improvements with a budget of £220,000.

Further improvements to the park in the future will include new planting and using a sustainable drainage system.

The playground

The first stage of the works is to the playground, which will be reshaped to help with surface water and flooding issues that occur on a regular basis. The playground will remain the same size but will stretch further into the park.

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 rainwater capture in this area as well as providing attractive planting and increased biodiversity.

A plan of the new playground area will be available to view soon.

Playground consultation

The consultation for Homefield Playground has now ended. Thank you for your input. We received over 390 online responses and spoke to over 50 families face-to-face.

What is happening now?

We are now in the design phase of the project where we carefully consider the feedback from residents.

These findings will then be shared with play companies ready for them to suggest a variety of designs that fit the brief.

What do I need to do?

Your next opportunity to have your say and help shape the park will be in early 2025 when we will have some designs and would love to get your thoughts on these. Look out for future dates to get involved.
