The authorities estimate that twenty five thousand guests will visit the park on each of the five days. Today, the hottest day of the year so far with temperatures set to rise above 35℃, wooded areas provided a welcome shelter from the heat.
The south sector of the park will be closed to the public during the games themselves, and available only to the athletes. The full park, including the north sector, is expected to be ready to open fully in May 2009.
