Easthill Park

About Easthill Park

Easthill Park has a large number of features that include a beautiful walled garden full of mature shrubs and herbaceous borders.

Use of the walled garden is prioritised daily for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities between 10am and 12pm.

At the south end of the park is the wildflower area, which gives a home to native species of plants and grasses. 

Easthill Park is one of eight parks in the city recognised by the Green Flag award scheme.

Easthill Park also has the Park Cafe and Training Rooms.

With funding from Sussex Police and work by local volunteers, Fresh Start was able to renovate the venue and now uses it to host community events, training courses and a cafe.

The Park Cafe trains young people in basic work and catering skills whilst serving snacks, drinks, and meals several days a week. 

History trail

Fresh Start Portslade has created a History Trail. It lasts about 22 minutes. On the website it is available in audio formats. To download a written version, we have a PDF of the trail available (623 KB). 

The war memorial

The war memorial originally stood outside the Royal British Legion Hall. Because the highway started to be used more it was moved to Easthill Park in 1954. It was felt that a respectful service would be able to be carried out in the park. 

The remembrance service is now one of the best-attended memorial services within the city. Around 200 people usually attend each year.

In 2018 the memorial was designated a ‘Centenary Field’ as part of a national initiative, led by the Royal British Legion and Fields in Trust, marking the 100th anniversary of the end of World War 1. Find out more about the Centenary Fields project on the Fields In Trust website.

Wild gym

These natural fitness stations were hand-made by a local carpenter, using Sweet Chestnut cut sustainably from Stanmer Park woods by park rangers, as part of the council’s woodland management project. 

The metal bars were sourced from scrap, then sanded and painted.

The gym features a hop/balance beam, a sit-up bench, parallel bars and chin-up bars.
