Set in over 50 acres just a short walk from the Town Centre, Goffs Park is the oldest of Crawley's Parks, and has a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. The park comprises several areas of land south of the Crawley - Horsham railway line, which have gradually come into the ownership of Crawley Borough Council to create the space we know and enjoy today.

Friends of Goffs Park

Goffs Park is a place where visitors can feel safe, enjoy nature and peace and quiet. The park has a range of interests for all ages and its popularity is down to the dedication and partnership working of the Friends of Goffs Park and Crawley Borough Council.

Since 2004, the Friends have worked with Crawley Borough Council and organised working parties to tackle some of the 'hands-on’ jobs. More are planned in the near future. It would be WONDERFUL to have your support on these occasions.

We would like to continue the programme of improvements so we invite you to join The Friends of Goffs Park.

Membership costs only £5 PER HOUSEHOLD PER YEAR and money received will be used to fund the group's activities, working parties and administration. As a member, you will receive regular information about the park's progress and forthcoming events.
