Enjoy your local parks in and around Bognor Regis this Love Parks Week
When was the last time you spent a few hours in your local park?
Love Parks Week, organised by Keep Britain Tidy, is a national celebration of the parks and green spaces that bring so much value to our communities. The campaign encourages people to enjoy, appreciate and help care for the outdoor spaces on their doorstep, while recognising the positive impact parks have on our physical health, mental wellbeing, local wildlife and community connections.
It’s also National Picnic Month, making this the perfect time to grab a blanket, pack up some of your favourite snacks and spend a few hours outdoors. Whether you’re planning a family picnic, meeting friends for lunch in the sunshine or simply looking for a peaceful spot to relax, Bognor Regis and the surrounding area offer plenty of beautiful green spaces to enjoy.
Whether you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy a family day out, take a peaceful walk, let the children burn off some energy or simply enjoy a moment outdoors, Bognor Regis and the surrounding area are home to a fantastic range of parks and green spaces.
Here are just a few places to explore during Love Parks Week.
One of Bognor Regis’ most iconic green spaces, Hotham Park offers something for everyone. With beautiful gardens, a boating lake, miniature railway, children’s play area and plenty of open space, it has been bringing people together for generations.
Whether you’re enjoying a picnic, stopping for refreshments at the café or simply taking a stroll beneath the trees, Hotham Park is a perfect example of why parks matter.
Overlooking the seafront, the Sunken Gardens provide a peaceful spot to pause and enjoy the coastal surroundings.
Beautiful planting, colourful seasonal displays and easy access to the promenade make this one of Bognor Regis’ hidden gems. It’s the ideal place to sit with a coffee, watch the world go by and enjoy a quieter moment by the sea.
Located close to the beach, Marine Park Gardens offers open green space with stunning coastal views.
It’s a popular place for walking, meeting friends, enjoying fresh air and taking in some of the best views across the coastline. On a sunny day, it’s easy to see why this remains a favourite spot for both residents and visitors.
West Park provides a welcoming space for local families, dog walkers and anyone looking to enjoy time outdoors.
Its open areas make it perfect for games, exercise and informal recreation, while offering a valuable green space within the local community.

Longbrook Park
Longbrook Park is a fantastic place for younger visitors to explore and play.
With open areas and facilities designed for families, it offers opportunities for outdoor activity, social connection and making the most of time spent in the fresh air.
Bersted Park
Bersted Park is one of the largest green spaces in the area, providing extensive open parkland, walking routes and recreational facilities.
The park is a popular destination for exercise, sports, family outings and community events throughout the year, making it an important part of local life.
Combining the benefits of green space with Bognor Regis’ famous coastline, Play on the Beach gives families a unique opportunity to enjoy outdoor play right beside the sea.
It’s a reminder that parks and outdoor recreational spaces come in many forms, all helping people connect with nature, exercise and spend quality time together.
Avisford Park Recreation Ground
A much-loved community space, Avisford Park Recreation Ground offers room to play, exercise and enjoy the outdoors.
Spaces like these may not always be the most famous, but they play an important role in bringing communities together and providing opportunities for healthy, active lifestyles close to home.
Why Parks Matter
Love Parks Week is about more than simply enjoying a walk or finding somewhere to sit in the sunshine. Keep Britain Tidy highlights the important role parks play in supporting physical health, mental wellbeing, biodiversity and community pride. The campaign also celebrates the volunteers, local groups and park teams who work hard throughout the year to keep these spaces welcoming and accessible for everyone.
Parks give us places to exercise, relax, connect with nature and spend time with friends and family, often completely free of charge. They are some of our most valuable community assets.
Show Your Local Parks Some Love
This Love Parks Week, why not challenge yourself to visit somewhere new?
Pack a picnic, take a walk, enjoy a coffee outdoors, let the children explore a new play area or simply spend a little more time appreciating the green spaces around you. Or if you’re looking to get involved, head over to their website to see if there’s an organised event near you!
And while you’re there, remember one of Keep Britain Tidy’s key messages: love, respect and protect our parks. Taking litter home, respecting wildlife and caring for these spaces helps ensure they can be enjoyed by future generations too.
