Eton Manor Sports Centre

　　The Eton Manor Sports Centre was built on the site of the former Eton Manor Sports Club. It is said that some of the original sports facilities were established in the early 20th century. Located at the northernmost end of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, it provided temporary training pools for athletes competing in aquatic events during the Olympic Games. During the Paralympic Games, it hosted wheelchair tennis competitions and continued to serve as a temporary training venue for aquatic athletes.

　　The Eton Manor Sports Centre features three 50-metre swimming pools for swimmers, along with smaller pools for synchronized swimmers and water polo players. During the Paralympics, it will also host 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, as well as a show court that can accommodate 5,000 spectators. After the Olympic Games, it will be transformed into a multi-purpose sports and leisure facility serving the local community. This includes a tennis centre with four indoor 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.
