Crystal Palace Park’s brand-new Dinosaur Playground opens on Friday 20 March 2026, just in time for spring. Local kids and families will get a first chance to explore before the current major phase of regeneration works is finished, which is set for this summer.

From Friday, the playground will be open all day, and on Saturday 21 March, families can enjoy a fun-filled day of free, drop-in activities to celebrate this exciting new space. A prehistoric adventure awaits!

Want to know more about what’s inside the playground and how to plan your visit? Check the link in the first comment 🦕

Part of the Crystal Palace Park regeneration plan, the Dinosaur Playground project is delivered by Bromley Council and Crystal Palace Park Trust, designed by HTA Design LLP and built by Maylim and PlayEquip.

This project has been made possible by major grants from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, as well as funding from the London Marathon Foundation and donations from the Garfield Weston Foundation, the Wolfson Foundation, and the Pilgrim Trust.
