The current building has become run down over the years and no longer fit for purpose. The new centre will offer an enhanced experience allowing visitors to learn about the rich history of the park. This transformation will be made possible thanks to funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Wolfson Foundation, the Garfield Weston Foundation, and other generous contributors.

For many years, the Friends of Crystal Palace Park have welcomed our communities to the Information Centre with remarkable dedication and hard work. It has been the focal point for so much in the park, hosting free community events and providing visitors with insights into our heritage. We are committed to continuing this wonderful tradition in the new Visitor Centre.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Friends of Crystal Palace Park for their incredible efforts in keeping the community informed about park happenings.

During the closure, please visit our 'What’s On' page on our website to stay updated on upcoming events.

Timescales for the demolition and build of the new Visitor Centre will be shared in the coming weeks.
