Sir Richard Hotham's house which he built in 1792, stands as a reminder of someone who long ago saw the potential of Bognor Regis because of its location and built on it. The original house is now privately owned and can be seen in Hotham Park. Located just five minutes walk from the town centre and 2 minutes from the beach, Hotham Park in 2008/9 underwent a £2.2 million restoration project to improve facilities. Further work is ongoing. Regular music and other events take place at the bandstand within the grounds during the summer months. 

Facilities at Hotham park Include:

• Boating lake
• Miniature railway
• Mediterranean and tropical gardens with specimen trees from around the world.
• Restaurant café
• Children''s play area
• An 18 hole adventure golf course.
• Pay and display car park

There is no admission fee to the park and only small charges for use of the concessionary facilities.
