Parks Tour - Sequoia

The Olympic Park Facts
The Park in numbers
  • We have had more than four million visits to the Park since July 2013. 
  • The Park covers 560 acres, has 6.5km of waterways, 15 acres of woods, hedgerow and wildlife habitat and 4,300 new trees.
  • There are four free themed walking trails to explore – London 2012, Biodiversity, Art in the Park and Kids’ activity.
  • There are 525 bird boxes and 150 bat boxes at the Park.
  • There are 26 permanent artworks in the Park and 2.5km of temporary artworks on hoardings. 
  • All eight permanent venues have a secure legacy – ArcelorMittal Orbit, Copper Box Arena, East Village, Here East, Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre, Lee Valley VeloPark, London Aquatics Centre and the Stadium.
  • More than 5,000 people (30 per cent from the local area) worked on the Park during its transformation – including 60 apprentices. 
  • It is expected that there will be 15,000 jobs created on the Park by 2025; 5,300 at Here East, 4,000 from employment space, schools and retail, 2,000 in construction and 3,000 at Olympicopolis.
