Artists impression of the VeloPark
The Lee Valley Regional Park Authority is playing an active part in what will be the most exciting event in the world - the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
We’re working closely with the organisers to create a Games which will live on in the memories of participants, spectators and the people of the UK for generations to come - and to make sure it has lasting permanent benefits for everyone.
We will own, manage and fund three Olympic venues after the Games – the White Water Canoe Centre in Broxbourne, where you can try your hand at canoeing or rafting before the Games, plus the VeloPark and hockey and tennis centres on Olympic Park.
We’ll ensure all three venues are well used by a real mix of people from across the region, from those who have never tried sport before to medal-winning athletes and future hopefuls. There will be extensive community use, outreach and sports development programmes.
