About Lee Valley White Water Centre
Located in Hertfordshire north of the Olympic Park, the Lee Valley White Water Centre will host the canoe slalom competition.
A competition course and intermediate/training course were built for the Games, and a lake feeds a system of pumps that provide the competition course with water. The white water is then created by the pumps and obstacles placed in the course. It is an international and Olympic standard 300 metre canoe and kayak slalom course.
In addition, there is a lot for the spectators as well. A new building was built which houses a reception, cafe, shop, offices and a viewing stand. Intended for leisure activities, the facility will open to the public again after the Games.
