Customer Reviews
Crystal Palace Park was honestly boring. It was under construction and didn’t have much going on, which made it feel boring.
Nov 9, 2025: We can still walk around the perimeter of the park, despite the metal fencing surrounding all the areas under construction. The dinosaurs are covered up, awaiting refurbishment. Sunday had some market stalls with a good selection of food and drink, including delicious vegan baked goods from Arapina Bakery.
This huge Victorian park is beautiful in parts, but some sections are going through a badly needed redevelopment currently. I was particularly interested in the dinosaurs that have been here since 1852. These are a series of sculptures of dinosaurs and other extinct animals, but unfortunately some were covered over because of the renovation. I went for a run around this park on a Saturday morning, and it was very peaceful indeed, especially around the lakes. I was pleasantly surprised with the wildlife I spotted, and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw many rose-ringed parakeets flying around here wild. I didn't know it was a thing that these exotic birds had colonised London. There is plenty to do here for families such as boating, a maze, a skatepark, and a museum. The National Sports Centre is also here which looks like a top tier venue for athletics. This was built on the site of the old football ground where Crystal Palace F.C. used to play and FA Cup Finals were held in the early days. There is also a natural ampitheatre here, where music concerts used to be held. Bob Marley played his last concert in London here in 1980. The actual Crystal Palace, which was the largest glass structure around at the time, was destroyed in a big fire in 1936, I was sorry to learn. This park has a lot of history behind it and a lot of potential, so lets see how the redevelopment goes when it's completed in late 2026.
