London’s Paralympic Games Wheelchair Venue is Ready |

The LOCOG and the ODA have announced the completion of Eton Manor, the venue for Wheelchair Tennis during the London 2012 Paralympic Games.

The area was previously the site of an old sports club and then was used as a practical training center for construction workers, many of whom went on to obtain jobs in the Olympic Park. Construction on the site began in early 2010 and, now completed, it boasts nine competition courts, 10,500 spectator seats including a 5,000 capacity show court, and four warm-up courts, alongside temporary aquatic training facilities including three Olympic-size swimming pools, a synchronized swimming pool and a water polo pool.

After the Games it is intended that Eton Manor will be transformed into a unique mix of sporting facilities for local and regional communities, including a tennis center with four indoor and six outdoor courts (four of which will be used for Wheelchair Tennis during the Games), a hockey center with two competition pitches and five-a-side soccer pitches. The facilities will be able to accommodate elite hockey events for up to 15,000 spectators.
