A new park opened in London the other day for the first time in 100 years. A year after the Olympic Games, they became the place where they were held - in the Stratford area of Newham County. Deciding not to leave the site abandoned, the city administration used it as a city park. Moreover, it took more than 14 billion euros to turn the sports complex into a park.

Now the park has lawns, benches, pavilions with coffee and snacks, fountains with drinking water. It also has walking and cycling paths and several hiking trails.

However, the improvement of the park is still going on, while it is working only 20 percent. Over the next few years, a water sports palace, a ski center (the largest in the UK), an entertainment center and many more infrastructure facilities will open here. It is also planned to open a 115-meter observation deck.

We can rightfully say that this park will become one of the most famous in the city.
