  This place needs a huge injection of cash to bring it up to its former glory. It is a shame it has been left to deteriorate over the years. A few sports struggle to continue with limited budgets and facilities. The toilets, in most of the complex, are disgusting. This is a National Sports Centre. It is more like a National disgrace. I would live to see it restored to its former glory.

  A great south london venue. As an architectural engineer i really enjoyed the exposed concrete it is very good quality.

  This is a well used and popular facility. They have facilities for track and field, swimming, beach volleyball, tennis and indoor sports to name a few. They also have a physio centre which is bookable by the public although I haven't used this service. Also, as it's in the middle of the park it's great for outdoor activities like running and football. I've been going to the park for many years and still enjoy coming here.

  A vast expanse of greenery with water bodies one of which is available for boating, tree lined paths for jogging, children's park, dinosaur park for budding naturologists, and the national sports centre with swimming squash diving tennis volleyball badminton gym dance studio provides all round fitness options. Easy aproach from two railway stations and the proximity of a bus depot helps in commuting if not using your own transport for which there is ample free car parking.

  Having lived in South London all my life, Crystal Palace Park used to be a very well kept and beautiful park. Its sports centre was also very well known. I recently joined the BetterGym here and was really disappointed. The building itself is huge but only a small section of it is actually used for the gym. The main room was at capacity, very moist and sweaty, and there really weren't many machines. I had to use the smaller room which is further down the corridor. It smelled of damp and during my workout a staff member came in and asked everybody to show their wristbands which I thought was a bit odd. The female changing rooms are gross and I felt very icky just sitting in there and changing my shoes. Again bad smell, floor wasn't clean and just a feeling of staleness. I also had to spend 10 minutes looking for a spare locker. This place has the potential to be so great! This huge building needs a revamp and I cannot understand why nothing is being done. I have now cancelled my membership and I'm looking for somewhere new.
