Olympic Park is open for business. Officials threw open the gates to the public on Friday afternoon and the once quiet paths of the park were immediately flooded with visitors.

A group of three dozen or so schoolchildren from London, including one excited young boy with the Olympic rings and "2012" carved on either side of his mohawk-topped head, scurried toward Olympic Stadium offering high fives and fist bumps to every person they passed.
