Lee Valley Regional Park is known and recognised as
one of the nation’s great parks; a place that offers a
unique combination of activities, sights and experiences.
For over 40 years the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority
has been working alongside many partner organisations
to transform the post-industrial land along the River Lee
into a place for leisure, recreation, sport and nature.
The Park is now a mosaic of award-winning open
spaces, heritage sites, country parks, farms, golf
courses, lakes and riverside trails, campsites, marinas,
angling and boating locations. All of these attract more
than 4 million visitors a year. In addition, the Park will
include a number of new facilities delivered as part of
the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic
Games. These facilities include the Lee Valley White
Water Centre near Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire,
the Lee Valley Velodrome and VeloPark, and the Lee
Valley Hockey and Tennis Centres, all within the Queen
Elizabeth Olympic Park at Stratford.
Our Park Development Framework is a suite of
documents that will collectively provide the blueprint for
our future efforts: setting out what we want to achieve,
how we plan to balance competing demands, and how
we intend to make best use of the limited resources
available.
We hope it will provide inspiration and focus for the
future collective efforts of landowners within the Park,
our partners, stakeholders and everyone with an interest
in the Lee Valley and Lee Valley Regional Park.
