Having lived in Crawley for 5 years, we have managed never to visit the park. Totally surprised at how good it is, and the size of the place. The park itself is a great place to wander, run, cycle and with three large lakes, boat (if you are so prepared). For us though, the best part was the nature centre.... More

The park is kept clean and tidy by hard working park keepers, but it does have times when it is full of litter and empty bottles particularly when it has been a warm evening. Nice park to walk the dog, good circular route and have done sponsored run round the grounds which was enjoyable. More

I have been visiting Tilgate Park for over 35 years there have been many changes but it remains a constant place to visit any time of the year. The children love walking around the nature reserve, playing in the adventure park and running round the lakes. There is a new Smith & Western restaurant which we found very busy and... More

My parents live in Crawley and we are regular visitors to Tilgate Park, it has a small nature centre for children, a well equipped playground and miles of woodland to explore. The formal gardens are stunning throughout the year and if you go deeper into the woods the only thing you are liable to meet is the odd deer. Best... More
