No tickets...can we still go to Olympic Park?

We didn't manage to get any Olympic tickets but would still like to take the family to London to do "something Olympic". Does anyone know if it's possible to spend a day in the Olympic Park without actually having tickets for a specific event?

I know previous Olympics have been open access but I can't be clear from the LOCOG website what the siutation is in London.

    Sorry, finally have an answer: had to create an account and delve into the bowels of the ticketing website to do so!

    In case it's of use to anybody else:

    Park Pass only tickets (no access to events) go on sale on 29 May at £15 per ticket. In order to purchase tickets you will need to create an account at

    http://www.tickets.london2012.com/

    and pay by VISA card...or go to box office any pay cash.

    Those tickets will only be available for the first weekof the games - will be much busier in the Olympic prk the scond week with more athletics events bringing perhaps 130k spectators per day with them

    Beijing most certainly wasn't open access, it was like a fortress and you couldn't get within 2 kilometres without a ticket.

    If you want to go to the park, you'll have to get a Park ticket. I think they are going on sale fairly soon.
