Over two million spectators and visitors were welcomed to the parks during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and many joined in the action for free. This summer has been a fantastic experience for The Royal Parks, which hosted more venues outside of the Olympic Park than anywhere else during the Games.
Visitors from far and wide watched sport in the temporary venues in St James's, Greenwich and Hyde Park and over 400,000 people cheered on competitors for free in the parks during the Road Races, Marathon Swimming competitions and Triathlons. BT London Live in Hyde Park, the largest live site in London and free to access, gave people the opportunity to watch live Games action, try out different sports and listen to live music - 800,000 people came together to soak up the atmosphere.
11 events took place in the parks and 24 medals, including 11 Gold, were won by Team GB and ParalympicsGB. A global audience of billions watched the London 2012 Games and we hope that the beautiful footage will inspire people to visit London and the parks in the future.
Our main focus is to ensure that the parks are returned to their previous condition and a flexible reinstatement plan is now underway in each of the parks that hosted events. We are also working to reopen as much of the parks as possible.

We are confident that through the expertise of our staff the parks will make a full recovery and some sections will even be improved.
