welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be taking a look at the Olympic Park
sporting complex found in London England
built specifically for the 2012 Summer
Olympics London’s Olympic Park
facilities are located within the 500
acre Olympic zone in Stratford in honour
of that country’s monarch the complex
was renamed the Queen Elizabeth Olympic
Park for her Diamond Jubilee aside from
the sporting venues located on this site
you can find the Olympic Village that
houses all the athletes and officials
taking part in the games the Olympic
Stadium is one of the main focuses of
the site like a number of the other
venues the stadium was built with
sustainability in mind later as well as
recycled materials were used wherever
possible
another of the game’s main venues is the
Aquatic Centre as it is found at the
parks entrance
the striking curved architecture is one
of the first things spectators are met
with upon entrance to the grounds inside
there are 250 meter pools as well as 125
meter pool used for diving found nearby
for maximum efficiency is the water polo
arena the handball venue is referred to
as the copper box that name reflects the
material that envelops the exterior of
the building giving it a unique finish
that will only be enhanced with time the
velodrome is another of the game
sustainable and efficiently built venues
it includes a ventilation system that
works naturally and makes air
conditioning unnecessary natural
lighting is another important element
and a 360 degree glass wall feature
allows onlookers outside the venue to
see the action inside because of its
unique silhouette this building is
affectionately called
the Pringle near the velodrome is the
BMX track which was considered to be one
of the most difficult tracks built to
that point meanwhile there are a number
of temporary venues as well these
include the basketball arena which was
the largest temporary venue built for
the Olympics to that point the
river-bank arena was also temporarily
built for the 2012 games instead of the
traditional green those fields were
colored blue with pink accents as a way
to tie them in with the colours of the
London Games
thanks to its job as host city of the
2012 Summer Olympics London will be home
to world-class sporting venues and
leisure spots for years to come
