If you’ve ever wanted to follow in the footsteps of your sporting hero but haven’t found the time to learn a new skill, then take an hour or two to visit Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park this summer.

Throughout August, more than 200 activities will be available to try out for free, no matter your age or ability.

The Active People, Active Park programme comprises activities for young people, adults and families.

You can choose from traditional favourites such as tennis or cricket, try out something new like hula hoop fitness or boxing yoga or take to the water for stand-up paddle boarding or canoeing.

You can also experience para-sports such as boccia, sitting volleyball and all-inclusive cycling.

No experience is necessary for any of the activities and all equipment will be provided.
