Other Info:
The track was originally cinder and was upgraded to a Mondo Sportflex Super X Classic synthetic surface in December 1993 but was probably not used for a meeting until 1994. The fields on which track is located were managed by Richmond-upon-Thames Borough and used to be called Barn Elms Playing Fields. They are now managed by the Barn Elms Sports Trust. Somewhat confusingly, the adjacent Barn Elms Sports Centre is run by Wandsworth Borough. Races often start at 200m point so that the stand is on the 'home' straight. The steeplechase barriers including the water jump were however upgraded to height adjustable.by 2002.
