| Abstract/Contents: | Details the process and difficulties of preparing Greenwich Park for the London 2012 Olympic Games. Explains that preparations began a year later than preferred due to protests from citizens groups. Describes the issues that needed to be taken into consideration while preparing the park, including protecting the remains of ancient Roman ruins and protected plants, which limited the amount of machinery that could be used in the preparations. Details a test event run in July 2011 that led many people to be "impressed that the park had performed admirably," despite improvements that could still be made. |
