Traditional wayfinding signs - Worth Park

Worth Park is situated in the town of Crawley, West Sussex. The park dates back to Anglo-Saxon times and was once part of Worth Forest, where it was used as a hunting ground. The park extends to eight hectares, including a lake area and formal gardens.
In 2016, the park benefited from a major restoration project funded by the Heritage Lottery, returning it to its former glory.
Solution
A sympathetic signage and wayfinding scheme with an appropriate style and finish was required. The design of this was influenced by many facets of the site, including architecture, landscaping, history and heritage.
Standard products from Fitzpatrick Woolmer were adapted using heritage colours and period fonts to create a finished solution that was engaging and accessible, and complemented the historic landscape setting.
The designs included a colourful 3D map to aid orientation and a suite of interpretation displays to encourage residents and visitors to learn more of the fascinating heritage of Worth Park.
