Eaton Manor Sports Centre
Eaton Manor Sports Centre was reconstructed on the site of the former Eaton Manor Sports Club, where some of the original sports facilities are said to have been built in the early 20th century. Located at the northernmost end of the London Olympic Park, it provided temporary training pools for athletes competing in aquatic sports during the Olympic Games; during the Paralympic Games, it hosted wheelchair tennis competitions and continued to serve as a temporary training venue for aquatic sports athletes.
Eaton Manor Sports Centre features three 50-meter-long pools for swimmers, as well as smaller pools for synchronized swimmers and water polo players. During the Paralympics, it also included nine official tennis courts and four warm-up courts, offering the global audience a spectacular showcase of wheelchair tennis.
The centre has a total of 10,500 spectator seats and a show court that can accommodate 5,000 spectators. After the Olympics, the centre will be transformed into a multi-purpose sports and leisure facility serving the local community. This includes a tennis centre with four indoor courts and six outdoor courts, a hockey centre, and several five-a-side football pitches, capable of hosting high-level hockey matches for up to 15,000 spectators.
