Active August

What better setting to inspire you to get fit! Come and join in your favourite sport or try your hand at a new one with our brilliant new programme of activities.

There’s plenty on offer over the coming weeks, from junior athletics and mini tennis for the kids, to Mums on the Run and Family Fit for the whole family. Check out the full events timetable here.

See the Park differently this summer

There are plenty of different ways to explore the 560 acres of the Park this summer. Our new guided walking tours will uncover details about the Park that even the most frequent visitors may not know. For those accustomed to a more sedate pace of life, our new boat tours will run every day (weather permitting) throughout August. Tickets for the 45 minute tour cost just £8 for adults, £4 for children (under 3s free) and £20 for a family of four (2 adults and 2 children) and can be bought on the day from the boat operators Lee & Stort Boat Co Ltd at their pontoon.

And if all that’s not enough, the Park is home to four free themed walking trails, including the Explorer’s Guide to Adventures in the Park which kids will love! Find out more about all four tours

Summer holiday activities at the Park’s venues and attractions

Many of the Park’s fantastic venues are running activity programmes this summer, including:

• London Aquatics Centre
• Copper Box Arena
• ArcelorMittal Orbit
• Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre
• Lee  Valley VeloPark

Get the creative juices flowing at the Park’s Poetry Potting Shed

Located near the fountains in the south of the Park, the Poetry Potting Shed is home to our Park Poet in Residence. Visitors of all ages are encouraged to drop in and get creative! Find out more here.

Don’t forget – with the exception of some of the venues, the Park is totally free to come and visit! So why not head down to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park this summer and enjoy London’s new park?
