Littlehampton parks and gardens

Littlehampton’s parks and gardens are fantastically family-friendly, with Mewsbrook Park having celebrated nine years of flying the prestigious Green Flag mark of quality in 2013.

Visitors to Mewsbrook Park can enjoy a café, tree trail, children’s trail, boating lake, play area, football pitch, picnic area and a miniature railway which runs to one of Littlehampton’s other top parks, Norfolk Gardens. Located on the seafront, Norfolk Gardens offers a fantastic range of activities to keep the whole family entertained, including tennis courts, pitch and putt, adventure golf and a bowling green.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a more peaceful park experience why not visit Brookfield Park? Created as a country park between 1997and 2000, the park features a well-established lake, wildflower meadows, young maturing trees, wildlife and several play areas.

Description

This orchard was planted in December 2012 with the help of local residents, River Beach Primary School, Worthing and Arun Mind and Brighton Permaculture Trust. It was funded by Arun Wellbeing.

It has hosted a family fun day, pruning workshops and apple juicing sessions with donated fruit from locals who received juice in return. More volunteers would be very welcome here to help with all sorts of tasks and fun events and activities and an orchard group will be set up.

The orchard has a wildflower meadow with a woven willow hurdle fence and a turf compost heap has been built. A walnut tree was donated to celebrate its year anniversary by the Chairman of Worthing and Arun Mind.

Regular Orchard Work Days are held on the first Wednesday of every month 10.30am - 12.30pm.

Any group or school would be very welcome to use the orchard as an educational resource or for events. Get in touch with the Parks Service to find out more on (+44) 01903 737960 or email parks@arun.gov.uk
