Location, Directions and Parking

The K2 Leisure Centre is on the A23 at Pease Pottage Hill in Tilgate, between Thomas Bennett School and Tilgate Forest Recreation Centre, and opposite Broadfield Stadium.

Arriving by Bus or Train

The K2 Leisure Centre is a little over one mile from Crawley railway station. To walk to the leisure centre, turn right out of the station, then right again at the traffic lights onto Southgate Avenue. At the end of Southgate Avenue, turn left. The leisure centre is about 200 yards ahead of you on the left-hand side of the A23.

The number 2 bus between Tilgate, the town centre and Ifield visits the K2 Leisure Centre approximately every 15 minutes. The number 10 Fastway bus stops nearby, at Broadfield Stadium and on Southgate Avenue.

Arriving by Car

From the south, follow the A23 towards Crawley. About one mile past Pease Pottage, get in the outside lane and turn right at the traffic lights. Watch out for the 50 mph limit as you approach the lights — there are sometimes speed traps.

From the north, follow the A23 through Crawley. Look for a roundabout containing a giant football, outside Broadfield Stadium. Go straight on in the left-hand lane, and very soon you will see the K2 Leisure Centre to your left as you approach a set of traffic lights.

From the M23, leave the motorway at junction 11, Pease Pottage. Get in the right-hand lane on the slip road, follow the roundabout all the way round and join the A23 heading towards Crawley. The K2 Leisure Centre is a little over one mile along on your right, at the first set of traffic lights.

Free car parking, including disabled bays close to the main entrance, is available but usually fills up early when the K2 Leisure Centre is hosting toy or wedding fairs. Other locations nearby are often used as overflow car parks, and will be signposted when in use.

The Other K2

Climbing at the K2 Leisure Centre in Crawley, Sussex, is a lot cheaper and less dangerous than climbing the other K2.
