The former Park House, owned by the Hurst family since the 1800's. Much of the present Horsham Park was previously the Hurst Estate relating to the House. Now, it is Horsham's Registry Office, but still retains splendid and secluded gardens.
Commentary.
Horsham is a very popular Market Town in West Sussex.
It is fortunate to be surrounded by splendid countryside, farmland,
Country Estates and much woodland.
Horsham Park was originally an estate belonging to the Hurst family from the 1800’s.
The former Park House, the family’s Georgian mansion, is now
Horsham’s Registry Office, almost opposite The Capitol Entertainment Complex.
The Park is very central to the town, between the shopping centre to the south
and the railway station to the north-east.
It is a splendid green oasis that is much used and much enjoyed.
Apart from a lot of open space taken up by football pitches, from September to April,
it has many other facilities.
Swimming pool and Leisure Complex built in 2002, tennis courts, Bowling Green,
Outdoor fitness equipment, Ice-skating Rink, Sensory Garden and formal gardens,
restaurant, in-shot, large tree-lined pond, Skateboard Park, Bandstand and four car-parks
to the north, south, east and west.
Week-ends and School Holidays are particularly busy times
but it is large enough to always find quieter corners.
Combined with over 100 miles of footpath, Bridleway and Cycle-paths through the forests and farmland,
one need never feel too urbanised with so much “greenery” around this highly regarded town.
