Park O Series Info

Park-Os are friendly club events, usually in parks or school grounds, where children and newcomers are very welcome. These are fun events where you can get a feeling for the sport – you can walk or run, go as a group or on your own or challenge your navigation at high speed against some of our top competitive orienteers. Yellow and Orange courses are suitable for children to run on their own with a bit of practice. Adults are welcome to shadow children until they are confident to go on their own. Sprint courses are run or walked by any age group.

The Park-O series takes place in the early summer and early Autumn and is 8 events this year. Certificates are awarded for the best placed in a variety of age categories.

The park extends to over 20 hectares and has vatied features including: lakeside paths, mature deciduous woodland. a well equipped children's play area, neatly kept open lawns, a conservation area and plenty of opportunities to simply sit and relax. Having finished your event why not finish your visit with refreshments at the Goffs Manor Pub, which is one of Crawley's oldest buildings dating back to 1450.
