After 2012, Waltham Forest will have brand new facilities, a state of the art National Hockey Centre, tennis courts, football and multi-sport facilities. The Velodrome sits only 50 metres over our border, so local people will be able to use the top cycling facilities in the sporting hub, in the North of the Olympic Park. Residents will have a 500 acre park on their doorstep, with a land bridge over the A12 joining the north of the Olympic Park to the rest of the Olympic Park.
The Games will bring so much more than just venues and facilities, and we are determined to make sure being a host borough means tangible and long-term benefits for local people.
The legacy of the Games
The Council and its partners are working on plans for the Northern Olympic Fringe masterplan. The masterplan will make sure that the neighbourhoods in and around Leyton are able to get the best from the legacy of 2012. Find out more.
