A sporting hub for the region
Medway Park is Medway's centre of sporting excellence with the needs of the community at its heart.
£11.1m has been invested in the project with the objective of providing Medway with a sporting hub of a calibre and diversity unequalled anywhere else in Kent. Medway Park received £5m of government funding and £3m from the University of Kent at Medway to provide state-of-the-art sports science and sports therapy for both academic and commercial purposes.
The centre is designed to deliver benefits both for 2012 and beyond. It benefits the sporting elite and the community at large and meets the needs of the burgeoning Universities at Medway campus and MidKent College.

Major events and 2012
Medway Park was chosen as the venue for the Modern Pentathlon World Cup. The event in April 2010 was the first global sporting event to ever be staged in Medway.
The centre's growing reputation means Medway Park has secured a number of national competitions, including basketball, table tennis, wheelchair rugby and badminton. It will also host the British Transplant Games in 2012.
Medway Park has been approved by London 2012 organisers as a training camp for 13 Olympic and eight Paralympic Sports.
