The 500-acre Olympic Park will be home to the major
sports facilities for the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic
Games and will be located largely in Newham.
The park itself will be set within a 1,500 acre landscaped area
stretching from Hackney Marshes in the north to the River Thames,
built around a network of rejuvenated rivers and canals. The nine
venues will all be within easy walking distance from each other and
the Olympic Park itself will be a seven minute journey from Central
London. |
