Man’s best friend has a new place to play with the launch of the Tilgate Park Hound Ground.
The Hound Ground is a secure and enclosed paddock for off-lead dog exercise.
You can book for up to six dogs each session. Sessions cost £10 and last 55 minutes. You will be emailed a code for access with your booking confirmation. To book visit crawley.gov.uk/houndground
Dogs must be kept on the lead at all times while walking round Tilgate Lake, the main lawn, the Peace Garden and the golf course (excluding the perimeter path) so this new safe space is ideal for off-lead training.
The 0.8 acre space is set in the beautiful, relaxed grounds of Tilgate Park. It’s located behind the Walled Garden and accessed from a path around the outside of the Walled Garden.
The safest walking route takes approximately 10 minutes from the toilet block near the main car park.
The Hound Ground is a great addition to Tilgate Park and provides dog owners with a secure location to exercise their pets.

Tilgate Park also has a fully automated, self-serve dog washing station. The Polygon Pets machine is located by the main toilets and car park. This convenient washing station takes contactless payment and provides everything you need to shampoo, rinse and dry your dog.
