To revitalise Crystal Palace with London's first-ever indoor Sand Sport Arena

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Prioritise and support the transformation of the Crystal Palace broken Olympic pool (disused since 2020) into the FIRST EVER indoor London Beach Sport Arena
Revitalise the London community, enhance public health, and create a lasting legacy

Transform a point of shame into a great point of pride
The Beach Sport Community has flourished in UK and around the world. Even in freezing temperatures, outdoor beach courts in London are packed, highlighting the community's strong demand for year-round facilities

Sand sports promote healthy activities and inclusivity by offering a space for people of all ages and backgrounds to participate

Crystal Palace deserves a long-due regeneration program to put it back on the map

London is the only major city in Europe without an indoor beach facility

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
