Crystal Palace Park Play Area is a dinosaur-themed play area in Crystal Palace Park, an exciting London park which is full of things to do, including dinosaur statues, a free entry farm, boat hire, and a maze!
The Dinosaur Play Area The play equipment includes:
a sand pit with a dinosaur egg to climb in and dinosaur bones to climb on
The Dinosaurs The Wildlife Everything Else! The boat hire and farm are not open every day so please check the website for details. 
We found the rest of the statues on the other side of the lake. They were fascinating – huge, charismatic, and exciting. For full details please see Crystal Palace Park.
We were amazed by how much there is to do in the park. We saw plenty of wildlife – ducks, geese, a grey heron, lots of parakeets as well as some of the boldest squirrels we have ever encountered.
There is also a maze, a gorilla statue, a small wooded area, a large sports centre, terraced gardens with statues of sphinxes, boat hire, a cafe, and a small farm with free entry.
