from
Wikipedia
Sport England would invest £ 10. 5 million, Lee Valley Regional Park Authority £ 6 million and the Mayor of London and Transport for London would invest £ 3 million and £ 2. 5 million respectively.
The park would include a velodrome seating 1, 500, which could be increased to 6, 000 if London's bid for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games were successful.
The site would also have an international competition BMX circuit, a BMX freestyle park, cyclo-cross / cross-country course mountain bike course and an outdoor cycle speedway track.
It was estimated that the park would attract 88, 000 users a year, replacing the Eastway Cycle Circuit.
However by March 2007, the VeloPark was revealed to be only a third of its original size, rescaled from 34 to 10 hectares.
The decrease in the size of the site led to users of the Eastway cycle circuit to protest to the Mayor of London.
