Up to 180,000 spectators a day will enter the Park to enjoy the Games.

The main venues – the Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre, Velodrome and BMX Circuit, plus the Fencing, Hockey, Handball and Basketball arenas  – will be easily accessible through a network of footbridges and walkways.

A central unifying concourse will carry spectators and competitors over the roads, waterways and rail lines that cross the site.

The Park will be designed to ensure visitors always feel part of the Games, whether they are watching the 100 metres final, strolling along the river edge or sitting in front of one of the big screens relaying live Games action throughout the Park.

The Olympic Village built next to the Park will be home to approximately 17,000 athletes and officials, with easy access to training and competition venues.

The Olympic Park Loop Road will connect the Village to each venue, giving competitors and officials easy and quick access: 80 per cent of athletes will be able to reach their venues from the Village in fewer than 20 minutes.

The International Broadcast Centre/Main Press Centre will enable events to be relayed to the rest of the UK and around the world in an instant.
