History
The area was first opened as a park in 1949 by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, but in 1965 the stadium was opened and named after Labour Party politician David Quibell, 1st Baron Quibell.[1]
In 2008 the stadium was chosen as a possible training venue for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[2] The stadium is surrounded by a velodrome.[3]
