To help celebrate 60 years since we purchased the land at Tilgate Park and began transforming it into the much loved leisure destination it is today, we are holding a Memories of Tilgate Park photo competition. We'd love you to share a photo from your time at Tilgate Park, past or present, and tell us the story behind it.
Find out more and enter on the Tilgate Park at 60 webpage. The competition runs until 31 July.
Come along and try a wide range of free health, fitness and wellbeing activities.
Why not join The Worth Park Wanders for a friendly hour-long walks around the beautiful and historic Worth Park?
The Worth Park Health Walks take place on the second and fourth Thursday of each month starting at 10.30am from Ridleys Court. Every second Thursday is a chance to amble at a steady pace with a slightly shorter walk around the park and lake. The fourth Thursday health walks are longer with no breaks and are a chance to step up your fitness.
