New Olympic Park cameras will give public front-row seat

The cameras will show updated still images throughout the day and will be accessible via the London 2012 website - http://www.london2012.com/plans/olympic-park/parkcams/index.php

The new ParkCams are situated in and around the Olympic Park and provide views of:

• The Olympic Park looking from south to north;
• The Aquatics Centre site, where construction began two months ahead of schedule in July;
• The Energy Centre with the retained Kings Yard building in the background, where construction started on schedule in August. It is being built to provide the extra energy required for Games and in legacy;
• Olympic Stadium close-up of the south stand, where construction began three months ahead of schedule in May. The structure of the west stand of the venue is now clearly visible;
• Olympic Stadium wide angle with Stratford City in the background; and
• The Olympic Village, where construction started in the summer.

ODA Chairman John Armitt said: 'The Olympic Park changes every day due to the scale of regeneration taking place across the site. These new ParkCams will give the public a front-row seat, making sure they don’t miss any developments as the work to build the venues and infrastructure needed for the Games and legacy accelerates.

'We hope to expand the number and type of camera on the Park as construction begins on other venues.'
