Youth Summer Fun
Activities in Parks
There is a small basketball area you can play matches on here, a big field for football and a children's play area.
A brand new playground has been built here for children up to 8 years old, thanks to the Big Lottery Fund. We'll be having a play day here, so once we have a date, we'll post the information here. This park is really tucked away, but it's worth finding, it's really nice.
This is all the open space that surround Worthing Leisure Centre.
A really nice park, it's not massive but you've got everything catered for on site or nearby. Thanks to the Big Lottery there's a new basketball and football fenced court there, with cricket markings as well. Outside of the fenced area, there are 5 pieces of gym equipment for all ages to exercise on. There's also a nice children's playground, Tarring Bowls Club which has sessions for young and old people and some tennis courts which back on to that. What more could you want?
