About

Crystal Palace Park is a large Victorian green space situated on a hill in south London. The area is dominated by the park's expansive grounds, which include open grassy areas, wooded sections, and a network of paths. It is a residential district with a mix of housing, from Victorian terraces to modern apartments, centred around the park's facilities and transport links. The National Sports Centre is a major feature within its boundaries, providing a focus for athletic activity.

The park is historically defined by the remnants of the grand Crystal Palace, which was relocated here in 1854. Its most distinctive elements are the full-scale, weathered concrete models of dinosaurs and other extinct creatures, placed among the lakes and islands. These Victorian geological sculptures, some of the first of their kind, create an unusual landscape. The area also contains the Crystal Palace Museum and the park's famous concert bowl, which hosts various local events.
