Event-Day Parking at Water Polo Arena
Water Polo Arena was a temporary London 2012 venue with a 5,000-seat capacity (davidmorleyarchitects.co.uk). It stood in the south-east corner of the Olympic Park alongside the Aquatics Centre, opposite the Olympic Stadium (wikipedia.org). Those locations put event traffic among the wider Olympic Park roads rather than beside a conventional permanent arena entrance.
The venue address is 7 Aquatics Walk, Stratford, Greater London, E20 2AS. The site was built for the London 2012 Olympic Games and has since been demolished (skyscrapercity.com). Drivers attending activity around this address should therefore plan for nearby public parking rather than expect a dedicated WPA car park or venue-operated pre-booking system.
Alternative Car Parks Around Stratford and the Olympic Park
The wider Olympic Park setting places the former venue near major Stratford transport and retail parking locations. The Aquatics Centre is alongside the former arena, while the Olympic Stadium is across the bank (wikipedia.org). Parking at these destinations is separate from WPA access and can be busier around major fixtures or performances.
The three hourly spaces are each £8.70 an hour, while the E15 3DZ space is £12 a day.
Parksy Spaces Near Water Polo Arena
Three Parksy spaces sit 0.3 mi from the venue: a driveway near Carpenters Road, a space at Holiday Inn London - Stratford City and a space at Morrisons in E15. Each is priced at £8.70 an hour, making them suitable for a short visit when a close walk matters more than a full-day tariff.
At 0.4 mi, the listed alternatives are covered parking at Omega Works in E3 2PD for £100 a month, a space on Biggerstaff Road in London E15 for £150 a month, and a Stratford E15 3DZ space for £12 a day. A 0.3 mi walk is a practical short approach after a match or show, while 0.4 mi gives a slightly longer walk back after the venue area clears.
Street Restrictions Around Aquatics Walk
Water Polo Arena was positioned at the main gateway to the Olympic Park (davidmorleyarchitects.co.uk). Aquatics Walk and the surrounding park routes were designed around a major event site, so access near 7 Aquatics Walk is not the same as parking directly outside a standard city venue.
The former arena hosted London 2012 water polo events and was temporary (leisureopportunities.co.uk). Use a booked off-street space rather than relying on an informal kerbside stop near the park gateway.
