“Former industrial land, much of it contaminated through years of industrial neglect, is being transformed to create 100 hectares of parklands that will provide a colourful setting and festival atmosphere both during and after the Games.

“Visitors to the Park during the Games will enjoy broad sweeping lawns and footpaths leading down to riverbanks. It also includes seating areas and public spaces with live screens showing the sporting action.”
