Partial reopening of Crystal Palace National Sports Centre
A spokesperson for the Greater London Authority (GLA), said: “Centre operator Greenwich Leisure Limited has today reopened some parts of the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre. This includes the 25 metre pool, the gym and other areas.
“Entry and use of these facilities will be subject to temporary access arrangements until the floodlights have been removed.
“The GLA is working to remove the unsafe floodlights as quickly as possible to allow the reopening of other areas of the centre and the stadium.
“The GLA apologises for the disruption that the site closure has caused. We are completely committed to the renovation of the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre and look forward to announcing a construction schedule in the early months of 2023.”
