Broxbourne (canoeing venue)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The venue for the slalom canoeing and slalom kayaking for the 2012 Summer Olympics will be built at Broxbourne in Hertfordshire. This location is just outside the northern boundary of Greater London, and like the main Olympic centre at Stratford in East London, it is in the valley of the River Lee. It will be situated on a gravel pit extraction site east of Broxbourne railway station.

The venue will have a purpose built slalom course for the whitewater canoe and kayak events. The flatwater canoeing and kayaking events will take place at Dorney Lake to the west of London. Broxborne will have seating for 12,000 spectators and the facility will be retained after the Games.
