A team of LDA Design and Hargreaves Associates has been selected by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) to design the Olympic Park for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The team - dubbed  LDA Design • Hargreaves Associates - will develop detailed proposals for the open spaces in the 2.5km square Olympic Park for the Games and its future legacy.

The designers, joined by BBUK, Kinnear Landscape Architects and Sarah Price Landscapes, will now consult the public on the detailed legacy plans, in partnership with the London Development Agency, ahead of a planning application later this year.

Work to clear the site is currently underway with construction due to start in the summer.Work to create parklands and public spaces starts next year.

In 2009 work will start creating the parklands and public spaces.

Early plans for the legacy of the Olympic Park include nine character areas that ‘enhance the ecology and biodiversity of the park, and create a vibrant mix of leisure and recreational activities’.

The ODA has already shortlisted firms to manage the landscaping of the north of the Olympic Park (Fitzpatrick, Nuttall, Skanska McNicholas and Balfour Beatty) and will issue a contract to manage the landscaping in the south of the park later this year.
