Vancouver 2010 Venues- Nat Bailey Stadium Park

This is the last Vancouver area venue in our series on the competition venues for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. The Nat Bailey Stadium Park is the only truly new venue in the Vancouver area, the other venues(GM Place, Pacific Coloseum & UBC Winter Sports Centre) have either existed already or are having additions built on to them. The Nat Bailey Park will host three events: Men's Curling, Women's curling and the Mixed Wheel Chair Curling. The Park is located in beautiful Queen Elizabeth Park which is in the centre of Vancouver. There is easy access both via the new Canada line Sky train route which will provide quick and safe access from Richmond all the way to downtown Waterfront station. The site will also have bus service. For you fans who are looking to watch Canada win a medal is the perfect venue to try and get tickets too. Canada is always a heavy favorite in international competitions for both the Men's and Women's event.

  • Capacity- 6,000
  • Distance from Olympic Village- 4 km
