	New Glass Structure for Crystal Palace Park
		The design, occupying the space of the transept of the original palace, is the same height, and follows the same line of its transverse aisle and yet retains the open space of the Grade II* listed parkland in its entirety.
		It responds to the legacy of Crystal Palace, a seminal building of the Victorian age at the cusp of engineering and architecture, with a major architectural intervention as audacious and technologically advanced as was its predecessor in its time.
		Pushing boundaries in the same way that Paxton's Crystal Palace came to define architectural modernity for a century or more, the Sculpture Park with its floating glass palace will restore Crystal Palace as a place in the cultural heritage of the nation with a building that will be the first of its kind.

		As part of an ongoing enquiry into the role of Crystal Palace Park in the community, C.P.P.Arch and the Architectural Association are undertaking a study to determine the way the public feel about, and use the park.
		The top part of the park is not safe for people to walk or play in, a) because there are not enough people in it for it to be self regulating and b) because of the roads running through it.
		It would make the park safer because anyone in the top of the park would be visible from the building and cars would not be in the park as the building would have underground car parking.

		Well, according to Simon Jordan, the Crystal Palace Chairman, CPFC are keeping a close eye on the stadium, and he sees it as an option for their relocation.
		As a park user I don't think the housing will have much impact, as it will be on the edges and on a small area in the context of the whole park.

	LDA unveils ideas for Crystal Palace Park and its sports facilities
		Londoners are to have their say on the future of Crystal Palace Park, as the London Development Agency’s large-scale consultation gets underway this week.
		The LDA said it is committed to ensuring the park continues to be one of South London’s major open spaces, and that - at the minimum - it needs a clean-up.

	Sydenham Society: Crystal Palace Park
		Some controversial ideas to assist in funding some of the park improvements include the re-siting of the Caravan Club (perhaps to Stratford in east London) and a small development of mews houses built on the corner of this site known as Rockhills, but allowing 4.2 acres of additional parkland to be opened up.
		The LDA is likely to sign a 125 year lease on the park itself sometime between 2006 and 2009, but in the meantime they have budgeted for £300,000 per annum for the coming 3 years for minor park improvements.
		The Crystal Palace Park consultation exercise is in full swing, as several members of the Sydenham Society found out when they visited the consultation marquee at the Penge entrance to the park on an unseasonably sunny Sunday morning.

	Concert platform Crystal Palace Park London by Ian Ritchie
		The concert platform is located in the park that was laid out by Joseph Paxton in 1864 to accommodate the Crystal Palace, originally created for the Great Exhibition of 1851.
		The rate of permanent change depends on the weather conditions, especially wind direction, rainfall and humidity - like the park around it, the concert platform is gradually changing its appearance according to natural climatic conditions.
		The concert platform is located in the north-east corner of Crystal Palace Park, Sydenham Hill, London SE20.

		I always enjoy becoming a small part of the community wherever I work and Crystal Palace, with its local history and strong community spirit, interested me immensely (being a North Londoner it was always a far off place with a fairy tale Palace).
		As a long-term resident of Crystal Palace I am dismayed to see the way our local traders are protecting their premises at night.
		Parks are for people not multiplexes, or bowling alleys or whatever the next half-baked scheme they think up behind the ugly edifice.

		Trees must, in most cases, be placed near the road, so as to form foregrounds to the interior of the park; and between the road and the boundary, they will be required for the purpose of disguising that boundary, or forming foregrounds to the scenery beyond.
		In the interior of the park there should be few or no closely planted masses; for the effect of these is to diminish the apparent space, and to curtain the appearance of extent from every point of view.
		The outcome of the entrance charges was that the upkeep of the park was paid for by those who could afford it, while those who had neither the money or the time to visit the park during their long working hours, were given free access on their days off work.

		The grounds of the Palace became parkland and various Acts were passed by parliament to ensure that the land was held as recreation space for the people.
		The Grade II listed park, on the highest point in London, is about to be carved up to make way for a £56m, 20-screen multiplex cinema with 9 bars and parking for 1,000 cars.
