More about Millennium Arena, Battersea Park
The original running track in Battersea Park dates from the 1920s and was cinder, 3 laps to the mile. It came down to 440y in 1951 and then to 400m in the late 1960s. A GLC contribution of £350K paid for the upgrade to a Spurtan BS synthetic surface, and the opening meeting followed on 26th June 1983. The track then closed for a year from the end of May 1999, so the old pavilion could make way for a two-storey one, a covered stand could go up alongside the home straight, and 6 lanes all round could become 8. Wandsworth Council and a Lottery Sports Award split the £2.6M cost. Ballast Wiltshier and H.E. Construction Services Ltd. did the building, and the Polytan WS surface is very soft. Officially it's now the Millennium Arena, having simply been Battersea Park Athletics Track before that. Athletics changing is downstairs in the pavilion, with a fitness centre above. A Scouts meeting was the first use on 21st May, public training started on 22nd May, Tessa Sanderson did the official opening on 1st June, and the official track opening meeting came on 4th June 2000.
