Geocache Description:

My good friend, TheAdamss, had a cache nearby inside the park, but archived it due to too much dog poo at the GZ. As it is around the corner from me I thought I would place one here.


Homefield Park is situated north of Worthing Hospital and Brighton to Littlehampton railway.

Homefield Park

Opened in 1880, it was originally known as the "People's Park". It was originally landscaped and had an ornamental lake, created by damming the Teville Stream which runs through the area, and a rustic wooden bridge over the lake. However, most of the land was grassed and carnivals and other events used to be held here. The lake was filled in around 1930 and, during the Second World War was used as alloments for growing food.

Today, the park has reduced in size due to the encroachment of Worthing Hospital. The park is used for football, basketball and tennis. There is also a skate park and a children's play area.

The Council is looking to make major alterations to the lay out, as can be seen in the image below. It is probably too late to send in your objections, so just wait forthe changes to appear , which will not affect the cache.

You are looking for a magnetic tube.

Street parking is available but there are restrictions. I recommend reading the restriction signs to ensure you do not get a parking ticket.

Congratulations to TheAdamss for the FTF!
