Selecting Weymouth and Portland as the sailing venue for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games accelerated strategic environmental and cultural investment in green infrastructure across the area. The Portland Quarries Nature Park has been created on the Isle of Portland to coordinate the restoration of several disused stone quarries that are locally and nationally significant for their geology and biodiversity, creating an innovative cultural destination for local people and visitors.
