The Olympic Park Legacy Company has today unveiled five shortlisted designs for an area of parkland in the north of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
The OPLC launched a competition in July to design a playground and visitor centre with a cafe and seating terrace, along with large indoor space for community use.
Five teams have been shortlisted to develop a design. They will be judged by a panel of experts and the winning design announced in December.
A separate competition is being held to design one of London’s newest public spaces that will welcome crowds to the south of the park.
Five concept designs for this competition are expected to be revealed next week.
OPLC chief of design Kathryn Firth said: “Legacy plans for the Olympic Park are more advanced than any other previous host Olympic city and this visitor centre and playground will be one of the first attractions added to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.”
