About Water Polo Arena at South east corner of the Olympic Park
Located in the north of the Olympic Park, the BMX Track was used for the first time during the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in August 2011, a test event for the London Games.
It is approximately 450 meters long and features an eight-meter high ramp at the start, followed by jumps, bumps and tightly banked corners. There is seating for 6000 spectators and work began in March 2011.
The track for men features a berm jump, an S-bend transfer, a box jump and a rhythm section. The women will find themselves with three jumps and a tunnel to compete with. There have been some concerns with the wind here but the issue has been looked into with no flaw being found.
