In this special edition of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Podcast, twelve time world champion and seven time Paralympic champion Hannah Cockroft presents 'My London Legacy - Accessibility All Areas'.
The London Legacy Development Corporation has worked hard to ensure that Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park really is a park for all, and one of the most accessible in the UK.
So in this episode, as well as hearing from Hannah about how London 2012 changed her life, and the Paralympic movement, forever, we'll hear from users of the Park and how it was designed to be as accessible and inclusive as possible for a wide range of visitors, employees and future residents.
And sporting legacy continues too, with the creation of the first ever version of visually impaired netball, from the Copper Box Arena's resident teams London Pulse and Metro Blind Sport.
