Underused Olympic Stadium to Become Water Park

"The park will include seven-storey slides, a wave machine, shopping arcades, cafes, and performance stages when it reopens in July, the report said.

'A Canadian company is designing and building these facilities to make the venue one of the biggest and most modern water parks in the world,' Yang Qiyong, deputy general manager of the venue, was quoted as saying."

This effort to make sure the Olympics-related infrastructure does not go unused will cost roughly $29 million.
