The Basketball Arena

The Basketball Arena will host the Basketball and the Handball. The Arena has a seating capacity of 12,000 seats. The Arena costed a budget of £42 million and was completed in less than two years.  The venue very interestingly is a temporary venue, and the largest built for any Games. After the Games the venue will be dismantled by the contractors who built and own the temporary elements, with the option of potentially using elements of the arena at other UK and overseas events.

The London Aquatics Centre

The Aquatics Center at the Olympics Park has a capacity of 17,500 and will host swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, the water polo finals and the swimming element of the modern pentathlon. It will also host all the swimming events for the Paralympic Games. Water polo will be held next to it in a temporary 5,000-seater venue with competition and warm-up pools. After the Games the Aquatics Center will be converted for use by the local community and elite swimmers. It will have two 50m swimming pools, a diving pool and a dry land diving training area.
