A sporting hub for the region
Medway Park is Medway's new centre of sporting excellence with the needs of the community at its heart. Development work on the previously named Black Lion leisure centre began in 2009 and the centre opened in April 2010. £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 plans are designed to deliver benefits both for 2012 and beyond. They will benefit the sporting elite and the community at large and meet the needs of the burgeoning Universities at Medway campus and the new MidKent College development.
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 also secured the Kent International Judo championships, National Tetrathlon Championships and ETTA Butterfly Grand Prix table tennis tournament for 2010. 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. The Paralympic Association of Barbados has already signed an agreement to prepare its athletes for the London Games at Medway Park.
