Revealed: how park will look after 2012

This is the first detailed plan to reveal what will happen to the Olympic park after the 2012 Games.

The map shows how the sporting legacy of the two-week long games will be secured with the venues made into sports facilities for all. It also illustrates the sheer scale of the work which will be needed after the closing ceremony of the Paralympics.

The map is part of the formal planning application submitted to local authorities by the Olympic Development Authority.

It comes as the Standard campaigns for action to ensure the 2012 Games deliver a real legacy by involving more people in sport and giving London top quality facilities and easy access to them.

More details will emerge early next year in the Legacy Masterplan Framework. The London Development Agency is responsible for the final plan.
