Crystal Palace Park

A great park for all the family. Highlights include the T-maze built in 1854, a mini fair for young kids, the Palace Farmyard featuring sheep, goats, cows, pigs and shire horses which can be ridden. There is also a fishing lake with special fishing days during the summer and peddloes for hire. There is a 1'o'clock club held on weekdays, children attending must be accompanied by an adult. The mini fair has rides with wheelchair access and children in wheelchairs go free of charge on the Land-Train that runs around the park. Within the Park is the Crystal Palace Sports Centre (Tel 0181 778 0131) with many activities for kids including a ski slope, climbing wall and fun station. The Sports Centre also runs children's camps and courses.
