plans to renovate Crystal Palace Park in a £24 million project have moved forward,

there will be a new child's play area developed, but the best news for us is that the £24m will include updates to the Grade I listed dinosaur statues and their setting, the Tidal Lakes, and a new dinosaur themed play area is also planned, alongside a revised information centre and improvements to the Penge Gate, 

we have visited the park many times before, in March 2022


and again this year in February

and many more times as well, also included in the refurbishment is the plan to restore the walls of the Grade II listed Italian Terraces, as well as improvements to the drainage to prevent further water damage and allow the possibility for events to be held at the space. Repair works are planned for the bust of Sir Joseph Paxton, the designer of the original Crystal Palace. Council documents said the bust is planned to be moved from the walkway of the National Sports Centre back to its original position at the Italian Terraces, great news all round, for the full article have a look here.
