River Lea through the Olympic Park
The park was designed around the several branches of the Lea through what used to be Stratford Marsh. The colourful bollards are used as mooring posts. In the background is the Aquatics Centre.
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
The park was built as part of the venue for the 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, and was further developed over a number of years after the games.
Three significant buildings used during the games can be found in the park, including the Olympic stadium, Aquatics Centre, and Velodrome, as well as The ArcelorMittal Orbit sculpture.
The River Lea also runs through the site.
