"Tilgate Park in crawley is a large, beautiful park with a extensively large lake scattered with ducks dirt trail paths to explore and even an animal petting zoo if you go far enough into the park. There is also an exercise course you can follow. They hold many an event there, why jut recently they had the dragon boat charity race which aims to raise money for various charities, fun runs and walks. There is parking both sides of the park, although you may rather go to the side with pay parking as there is more security. This is a great place to take the dogs for a walk, and there are also dog restricted zones including the petting zoo (which has more than your average chickens and sheep), to keep it cleaner and friendlier atmosphere, as well as specific dog toilet points around the site. Many a day I have sat down and had a picnic with friends by the lake feeding the ducks, I'm not a park kind of person but there is something almost magical about this place"
