Miniature Train, Brooklands Park

The Brooklands Miniature Railway originally opened in 1965 as a 9.5 inch gauge line which ran in an end to end formation on the west end of the lake at the pleasure park. Trains were pulled by an American Outline steam engine or petrol engine. The line was later converted to 10 ¼ inch gauge and was also extended around the whole lake, making a circuit. For a while, trains were operated by Severn Lamb 'Western Comet', but after a recent change in ownership, the trains are now pulled by a Diddly themed train. Link

Brooklands Park

Brooklands Park is situated just off the A259 seafront road between Worthing and Lancing. It was once a Council waste tip until reclaimed in the late 1950’s!

It is now a large (45 acres) open space offering a range of sports and leisure facilities around an 8 acre boating lake. The site also has a miniature railway, children's playground, café, nine hole par 3 golf course, putting green, go-kart track together with some landscaped areas that provide year round interest for all ages.
