About

The park is currently having a makeover - check the website to find out more about how this might affect your visit - www.crystalpalaceparktrust.org/pages/park-regeneration-updates. Blue Badge parking and the Changing Places toilet are still available. Crystal Palace Park is one of South London's largest public parks - and one the most important and historic green spaces - situated in the Borough of Bromley, at the meeting point of four other boroughs (Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham, and Southwark). At the top of the 200-acre Grade II* listed park is the site where Sir Joseph Paxton’s large glass Crystal Palace stood between 1854 and 1936, when it was tragically destroyed in a spectacular fire. The park is also home to some full-size dinosaur models built by the Victorians, the National Sports Centre, a children’s farm, a playground, a maze, an outdoor concert platform, boating and fishing lakes and plenty of green space to explore.
