A sporting centre of excellence with the
needs of the community at its heart.

Medway Park has already
developed a reputation as a major event
venue for regional, national and international
competitions.
The centre's completion was
celebrated at the Modern Pentathlon World Cup in 2010, the first
global sporting event to ever be staged in Medway.
It has since hosted an
international basketball series, national tetrathlon competition,
and other regional and county competitions, including the
2012 the British Transplant Games.
Medway Park is already home
to a number of national standard athletes and teams, including the
Medway Park Crusaders national league basketball team and GB judo
players and athletes.
The centre was approved
by London 2012 organisers as a Pre Games Training Camp for 13
Olympic and eight Paralympic sports.
