Can we still use Leisure Plus cards?

The Leisure Plus cards are being discontinued. A new membership card, The Active Crawley Card, is being introduced, which costs £5 per year. If you have an exisiting Leisure Plus card, we will write to you in September, explaining how to transfer your card. We will transfer your Leisure Plus to an Active Crawley Card free of charge, and it will last until the current expiry date on your card.

How does the Active Crawley card work?

The card costs £5 to adult Crawley residents, or £2.50 for a junior, senior or student card. The cards will be swiped at the reception desk, and you will not be charged the day admission fee. If you do not have an Active Crawley Card, you will pay a 50p day membership every time that you use K2, as well as the usual activity fee.

How do I get to K2?

On foot or by bike

K2 is well served by designated cycle paths and pedestrian routes. A lit segregated footpath/cycleway runs from Canterbury Road Tilgate to K2, across the A23 via a pedestrian/cycle crossing to link with the Broadfield cycle and pedestrian routes. Secure bike racks are located next to the K2 entrance.

By bus

Bus 271 from the Town Centre and Bus 273 via Tilgate and Furnace Green run direct to the K2 entrance.

Buses 2 and 3 stop at Canterbury Road, Tilgate, a five minute walk from K2 via the segregated footpath/cycleway.

Fastway stops are located along Southgate Avenue, approximately 5 minutes walk from K2

By car

The entrance to K2 is off the A23 Pease Pottage Hill. There is free car parking on site for leisure centre users. Signposting will indicate other parking for special events.

How often will Thomas Bennett School have access to the site?

Thomas Bennett pupils will use four courts in the Sports Hall and three courts of the multi use games area, from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. In term time, three evenings a week and some Saturday mornings will be used to provide after school activities. These times will feature in the advance programme.

Are there disabled facilities?

Access to and around K2 has been designed in full consultation with TAG (Town Centre Access Group). Design features include wide access at turnstiles, access to first floor via a self operated passenger lift, an induction loop at reception and spectator seating.

Public and group swimming is available on a daily basis, with lift provision, and the climbing wall (provided by Hi-Sports) will provide specific opportunities for disabled users.

17 disabled parking spaces are provided near the entrance, and main entrance doors open automatically on approach. There is level access to the building, and crossing points with dropped kerbs and textured paving.

When will Crawley Leisure Centre close?

Crawley Leisure Centre will close one week before K2 opens, to allow staff to be trained in the new centre before it opens.

What will happen to the Skate Park?

There will not be skate facilities at the new K2 leisure centre, so the exisiting Skate Park will be moved. Consultation is currently taking place to find a suitable new site.

Part of Crawley Borough Council's 2002 Sport and Recreation Strategy sets out the way forward for providing indoor leisure facilities in the town. The strategy identifies the need to provide a "broad range of high quality sport and recreation facilities which encourage and facilitate the local community to fulfil their sporting potential".

Since Crawley Leisure Centre was built in 1964, Crawley has grown from a town of around 60,000 people, to 100,000 in 13 neighbourhoods. The demand for facilities for a wide range of different leisure activities has meant the leisure centre has been extended and improved over the last 40 years, but it has now reached the end of its useful life.
