During the Paralympic Games, Eton Manor will host Wheelchair Tennis. In legacy the centre will be converted into a hockey and tennis centre, with the facilities being owned, operated and funded by the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority.

The permanent elements at Eton Manor will include a hockey centre with two competition pitches, a tennis centre with four indoor and six outdoor courts and five-a-side football pitches. The mountain bike trails forming part of the VeloPark, will also extend onto Eton Manor. Start of construction on Eton Manor will be in spring 2010, with completion by the summer of 2011 for Test Events.
