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.
