2012 Olympic Equestrian Venue - Greenwich London
Image from rashdash
After serious deliberation, the Olympic committee has confirmed that the site for the equestrian events of the 2012 Olympics will be Greenwich Park in London.
The cross country event will be held in the park and the main arena will be on the grounds of the National Maritime Museum.
Both of the sites are in the design process to be erected on a temporary basis in 2012 for the events, then removed after the games are over.
Greenwich park is located on the south bank of the River Thames in southeast London.
I’ll be keeping everyone updated about the coming 2012 Olympic equestrian events so stay tuned.

What a shame the event will be sited at the 2nd most congested site in London, crammed into the 5th largest park and is unlikely to leave any noticeable legacy after it’s all been cleared up and the royal parks have done their job to replant that beautiful parkland.
Surely Coe / KPMG could have investigated the masses of waste land underused in east London, even around North Greenwich.
