Thames Barrier Park
West Ham Park
Lee Valley Regional Park
Lee Valley Park Authority
Lee Valley Regional Park is London's biggest open space, stretching
26 miles from Hertfordshire, through Essex, north and east London
to the Thames. The Park blends nature reserves and country parks
with first rate sports venues, a number of which are very close to
the Borough. The Park Authority is partly funded by Newham.
The Authority, owners of 35 per cent of the parklands in the new
Olympic Park and four London 2012 venues is playing a major role in
the Games. Lee Valley White Water Centre, near Waltham Cross just
north of the M25 will open to the public ahead of the Games in
spring 2011.
