Crystal Palace Park set for £17m regeneration

Plans to revamp Crystal Palace Park have been given the go ahead by Bromley Council.

About £17m has been approved to upgrade the historic Grade II* listed space .

The money will be spent on repairing the famous Grade I listed dinosaur sculptures, restoring the Italian terrace, which had fallen into a state of disrepair, as well as adding meadows, paleo-inspired plants, wildlife-friendly shrubs, sustainable water features and also improving accessibility in the park.
