Title: Olympic Park
Post by: Christie on August 12, 2012, 12:10:05 PM

Does anyone know if we can get entry into the Olympic Park area now that the Olympics have finished ?  I have tried going on the Olympic Park site but it doesn't seem to mention tickets for the park area only.  Thought I might include it with a shopping trip to Westfield shopping centre at Stratford.

You'll probably have to wait until the Paralympics have finished.

Boris was interviewed the other day on this very subject. He confirmed that the park won't be kept open for viewing after the Paralympics have finished as it would cost too much. He suggested that anyone who wants to see inside the park buys tickets to the Paralympics

It'll be opened to the public from July 2013.

Many thanks - looks like I will have to wait a white.  Funny, we have the Mail every day but didn't see this article.
