The VeloPark will be owned, funded and managed by Lee Valley Regional Park Authority who will also own the Eton Manor site and the White Water Canoe Centre just north of the M25. The site will be transformed, retaining the 6,000 capacity Velodrome, whilst the BMX track will have its temporary seating removed to make way for track modifications, with a one-mile Road Cycle Circuit and mountain biking added to this unigue site.
The region will benefit from a unique facility that will be a centre for excellence for competitive cycling in the heart of East London. The VeloPark will also be a cycling hub with a variety of users ranging from beginners to elite athletes with extensive community use, outreach and sports development programmes in place for everyone to come and have fun, learn and enjoy. The VeloPark will join the other regional sports venues owned by Lee Valley Regional Park Authority to create a chain of sporting excellence along the 26 mile long Lee Valley Regional Park.
