Overworld Park is an idealization of the Crystal Palace Park and all it contains. This ''terrae incognitae'' contains many strange and wondrous things that are absent from the mundane park.

			While Overworld Park can only be reached from the grounds of the Crystal Palace Park, leaving from either of the two stations, high level or low level allow one to transition from the park to anywhere in London 1888. As above, so below. The High Level Station can transport passengers to any mundane location within London and the Low Level Station can transport passengers to any subterranean location in London as well as its version of the Underworld.

			Overworld Park is defended by 33 mechanical (steam driven) dinosaur golems that ''graze'' the length and breadth of the grouds. These beings are semi-aware and have a limited tactical response that by no means moderates their capacity for violence.

			Mortal favorites of the New Gods can be seen wandering the grounds, some are servants, while others are guests who have been brought here for inspiration.

	After the 1851 Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, Joseph Paxton appealed for the retention of The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, but the government decreed that the Palace be removed. Paxton formed the Crystal Palace Company to purchase the Hyde Park Crystal Palace for £70,000, as well as a new site at the summit of Sydenham Hill in Kent for the construction of an enlarged Crystal Palace which cost a total of £1.3 million. The 389-acre site consisted of woodland and the grounds of the mansion known as Penge Place owned by Paxton's friend and railway entrepreneur Leo Schuster. This land as enclosed in the early 19th century previously made up the northern part of Penge Common, a large area of wood pasture which abutted the Great North Wood. Between 1852 and 1854, an enlarged and redesigned Crystal Palace was rebuilt at the new site, set in a park constructed by Sir Joseph Paxton's Crystal Palace Company.
