THE LEGACY VENUES

Lee Valley Regional Park is playing a leading role in delivering a lasting and enduring legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The authority owns and runs three London 2012 venues ? Lee Valley White Water Centre, Lee Valley VeloPark and Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre. It also own a third of the parklands on Olympic Park and is working closely with the London Legacy Development Corporation to create a park that is vibrant, popular and sustainable while making the best use of public resources.

The vision is that the 2012 venues will join the sports venues it already runs to create a chain of sporting excellence along the 26 mile long, 10,000 acre Lee Valley Regional Park. Find out more about the venues and the legacy work here.
