A PARK FOR EVERYONE
A new heart for east London, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park will soon be home to thousands and a new destination for millions of visitors.
VENUESThe Park’s iconic venues offer something for everyone. You can swim at the London Aquatics Centre, watch a basketball match at the Copper Box Arena, or try cycling at Lee Valley VeloPark.
PARKLANDSThe north of the Park includes the parklands and wetlands as well as the Timber Lodge and Tumbling Bay adventure playground - winner of the 2014 Civic Trust Award and the Selwyn Goldsmith Award for Universal Design.
In the south of the Park, you can enjoy an accessible, urban playscape, a range of food and drink options and the ArcelorMittal Orbit, the UK’s tallest sculpture. Accessed by lifts and with accessible toilet facilities, it offers stunning views across the Park and London.

DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE
We’ve worked hard to make sure that Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park really is a place for everyone, and we think that our park might be the most accessible in the UK. It features good step-free access, hard-standing surfaces, regular seating and accessible Blue Badge car parking for each of the venues.
The venues themselves have been designed with facilities that include accessible and Changing Places toilets, accessible changing facilities, baby change, multi-faith rooms, induction loops and audio assistive systems.
Find out about our Inclusive Design Standards and our Built Environment Access Panel (BEAP) at QueenElizabethOlympicPark.co.uk/inclusive-design
MOTIVATE EAST
Motivate East is an inclusive sport project aimed at disabled people in east London which was inspired by the London 2012 Paralympic Games. It is creating more than 26,000 opportunities to try new activities.
We work with London Sport, WheelPower, Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, University of East London, Better (GLL) and the boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Greenwich, Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest to deliver this programme, which is supported by Sport England.
To find out how to get involved go to www.motivateeast.co.uk or find us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
NATIONAL PARALYMPIC DAY
The London 2012 Paralympic Games changed the way a lot of people think about disability.
We think it is really important to make sure that this continues and so we are investing over £5m in projects such as an annual family festival of disability sport and arts, called National Paralympic Day.
In 2014 the festival will be held on Saturday 30th August. You can find out more about how to come along at QueenElizabethOlympicPark.co.uk
GETTING THERE AND AWAY
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park has some of the best transport links in London, making it one of the capital’s most accessible destinations:
• Nine tube and train links, each with step-free access
• Numerous bus and coach routes
• Less than 40 minutes to all of London’s major railway stations
• Seven minutes to St Pancras International
• 30 minutes to the M25
• Less than an hour to all London international airports from Stratford station
Public transport is the best and easiest way to get to and from the Park – by train, underground, bus or bicycle.
ACCESSIBLE ‘BLUE BADGE’ PARKINGEach venue on the Park provides accessible ‘Blue Badge’ parking for disabled customers. For general Park visitors, there is paid parking at Westfield Stratford City, Stratford International station and the Stratford Centre.
