Friends of Brooklands Park

Friends of Brooklands Park are a community group connecting the local community through conservation and helping with regeneration of Brookland’s Park which is situated in East Worthing, West Sussex. We promote the benefit of growing and creating habitat for wildlife and want to inspire young people, families and others through contact with nature-based activities on what can be achieved to create a positive effect on the environment through small but significant changes. Our group has planted over 100 trees and 500 hedgerow, put up 50 plus bird boxes, and planted 100’s of bulbs and done other planting within the park. We are committed to working with the local community in maintaining and creating communal spaces, encouraging positive use of the park and engaging the local community in the work through volunteer days. 

Our regular volunteer days are held on the first Saturday of each month starting at 10.30am till 12.30pm. Everyone is welcome to come along and help out. If you would like to find out more about our group please follow our Facebook page or you can be added to our contact list if you would like to be kept informed of our volunteer days, you can contact us on email at [email protected]

    I learned to play golf at Brooklands Psrk. It was a lovely place and the course was described as “the jewel of worthing” or similar on the website. Then it wasn’t returned to us after the upheaval of the Rampion development AS PROMISED with a proper club house too. I gathered at the meeting in the Assembly Rooms that this decision partly rested on your Group’s wish for it to be a children’s technology park. I only used the golf course regularly and the cafe occasionally so not at all now. But I have looked at the non development of the area and been so angered by the pointless loss of a lovely, useful recreational facility. If I had the money to buy that land and put it back how it was, I would do it. I can’t help wondering what anyone thinks has been achieved and whether anything ever will be. The golf course brought in money too. I regret the day I believed the promise made to rebuild it as it was.
