Crowhurst Park: Opening Doors for Local Good

Parks Makes Places Campaign Crowhurst Park

At Crowhurst Park, “opening doors” isn’t just a phrase – it’s a way of life. The park generously shares its spaces and staff with local groups, care home residents, and charities, free of charge.

Each year their Big Breakfast event, organised in aid of Cancer Research, offers more than just a meal – it brings in thousands of pounds through donated venue space, staff time, and catering.

Older community members are invited to enjoy free swims, while weekly meet-ups – ranging from business networks to book clubs – foster friendship and support. Local children’s charities even run cross-country fundraisers on the park grounds, safe in the knowledge that this quiet, steadfast generosity is helping them flourish – no recognition required, just heartfelt community spirit.

Key Achievements:-

At Crowhurst Park, community support isn’t a one-off – it’s a way of life.

This is part of the #ParksMakePlaces campaign, celebrating how holiday parks support people, places and the planet.
