About the garden:
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park was created to host the highly successful London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. Since the Games, the park has been transformed to become the centrepiece of five new residential neighbourhoods, bringing new homes, schools, jobs and recreational facilities to the east end of London.
The park opened to the public in April 2014, since when over four million visitors have experienced and enjoyed its gardens and landscaping. Many of the venues which became world-famous during the Games are now open for all to use. Entry to the park is free and it is open around the clock every day of the year.
To celebrate Open Garden Squares Weekend, special walking tours will be provided by the team responsible for the design and maintenance of the park.
