London Velopark - Olympic Games 2012


Where is it?

The VeloPark will be built in the north of the Olympic Park and is made up of a Velodrome and BMX Circuit.

Getting ready

A world-class consortium made up of Hopkins Architects, Expedition Engineering, BDSP and Grant Associates was chosen to design the VeloPark.

The design competition was judged by leading names from the world of architecture and design, as well as Olympic gold medal-winning cyclist Chris Hoy.

Construction began in March 2009 and will finish in early 2011, to allow for test events before the Games.

After the Games

After the Games, a Road Cycle circuit and Mountain Bike course will be added to the Velodrome and BMX Circuit to create a VeloPark for the local community, local clubs and elite athletes.
