If you want to take some first steps towards a healthier lifestyle or add a social element to your exercise, the range of free Health Walks offered through Crawley Wellbeing can provide that environment.
A qualified walk leader guides the group at each of the five locations, with shorter options of 45-minute walks, or a full hour if wanted.
The Leader and two other members of the Cabinet joined the Goffs Park Health Walk last week and saw for themselves the benefits that everyone going on these walks gains from them. They really are an excellent way to build in some sociable gentle exercise into your day and this is a great time of year to start.

There is no need to book a spot, just arrive in time for the start of the walk at the location listed above. Only an online health walk registration form needs to be filled in before anyone’s first walk. Alternatively, the walk leaders will be carrying forms.
The health walks are not the only form of exercise offered through Crawley Borough Council. There is also the award-winning community tennis programme run by Crawley Wellbeing, and the free-to-use outdoor gym equipment at Tilgate and Goffs parks.
