The beauty and benefit of the parks and seafront in Adur and Worthing are the focus of a new campaign launched today highlighting a range of activities available for everyone.
The GreatOutdoorsAW campaign, aims to remind residents of the great natural resources on our doorstep and, as we emerge from lockdown, how everyone can make use of them.
The campaign will highlight bushcraft skills training, family fun days and taster activity courses, which are among a wide range of experiences that residents can look forward to this summer.
GreatOutdoorsAW offers a jam-packed calendar of activities being delivered by the Councils’ Parks, Foreshores and Wellbeing teams, and partner organisations, running from the end of June to mid September, with something for all ages to enjoy outdoors.

Find below details that from tomorrow enforcement patrols will be carried out across Adur and Worthing as part of crackdown on littering and dog fouling.
Those caught dropping litter will receive an on-the-spot fine of £75. Those who do not clear up their dog’s mess will receive an on-the-spot fine of £100.
The self-funding trial scheme, which already operates in Chichester and Arun districts, has been introduced after feedback from local residents and community groups.
It comes just weeks after leaders of both Councils issued a general warning that anti-social behaviour around litter and parking cannot be tolerated in Adur and Worthing this summer - with specially-designed posters installed in high-profile areas, alternative off-street car parks have been promoted and examples of littering highlighted on social media.

The Government is being asked to back Worthing’s bid to use creative and cultural industries to help kickstart efforts to rejuvenate the town centre and lead a post-pandemic economic recovery.
Worthing Borough Council has bid for £10.5m from the government’s Levelling Up Fund, aimed at schemes to regenerate communities.
In a separate move the leader of the Council, Cllr Daniel Humphreys and MP for Worthing West, Sir Peter Bottomley are to meet Robert Jenrick, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government to press the borough’s case for funding.
The Fund money would be used to create creative and cultural spaces through the borough for designers, artists, digital companies and even spaces for gamers to enjoy. Council-backed Citizens’ Wifi will give thousands of residents access to the ultrafast broadband via a number of community spaces.
The Council also wants to investigate the restoration of key buildings in the borough to preserve their historical significance and architectural interest.
