East End gets its own Hyde Park 

Plans for the biggest public park to open in London for over a century were unveiled today.

The 270-acre "super-park" will emerge from the side of the 2012 Olympics on the athletes have gone home.

The future east London park is described as the East End equivalent of Hyde Park and which will open to the public in 2014, will look like.

Landscape architect George Hargreaves said: "It will characterise east London and give the area an equal weight to the west. This will be east London's equivalent of Hyde Park."

"We plan to create another world with wetland habitats and broad expanses of meadows in the centre of east London. This will be one of the great parks of London."

 The park will house a concert field with room for 50,000 people - in the style on the north London's Kenwood House lawn.

Asphalt laid to withstand 4 million expected visitors during the Games will be torn up and replaced with wetlands and meadows.

And a 120-metre wind turbine will tower over orchards and vegetable patches designed to encourage local food production.

To help Londoners cut their carbon  footprints, and eco-pavilion will demonstrate ways of living a low energy lifestyle; while a power station will generate energy using willow from the park's wetlands.

Steep scrambles and jumps will be incorporated into fitness trails to challenge  walkers and help fight obesity.

Gyms, sports pitches, mountain bike trails, climbing walls and canoes for hire will encourage visitors to exercise. The £200m Olympic park will be built around the valley of the river Lea which runs from Stratford's Eurostar station to the Thames.
