Crystal Palace Park is a historic, 200-acre Grade II* listed public park. Originally designed in the 1850s by Sir Joseph Paxton, it served as the pleasure grounds for the relocated glass Crystal Palace exhibition building before it tragically burned down in 1936. Following massive, multi-million-pound regeneration works completed in July 2026, the park has been fully revitalised with restored Italian terraces, step-free walking paths, and brand-new community spaces.
Below the main attractions are listed:
The Full-Size Dinosaurs: Explore the world's first full-size dinosaur sculptures, sculpted by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins and unveiled in 1854.
The Dinosaur Playground: Reopened in early 2026, this massive timber-frame playground features bone-shaped climbing frames.
New Visitor Centre: The eco-friendly timber-frame Visitor Centre, which houses an exhibit charting the park's history and biodiversity alongside a new gift shop
The Hedge Maze: You can get lost in one of the largest hedge mazes in Britain, measuring 50 yards in diameter and dating back to the 1870s.
The Crystal Palace Museum & Subway: You can check out the newly renovated museum to view models of the original glass palace, or catch an open-day viewing of the stunning Byzantine-style pedestrian subway.
Concerts at the Bowl: Famously known as the "Rusty Laptop", the Crystal Palace Bowl is a historic open-air stage that has hosted legends from Bob Marley to contemporary festival series.
Normally I would mention multiple options of Parks and Greens Spaces but in this case there is no need as everything is on your doorstep.
