Paddington Recreation Ground

Paddington Recreation Ground

Paddington Recreation Ground is a park in Maida Vale, City of Westminster, just north of Paddington. Its 27-acre site is the largest area of parkland located entirely within the City of Westminster.[1] It was the first park of its kind in London, having operated since 1888.[2] Annually, it attracts over 1.5 million users, who visit the Recreation Ground for its green-space value.

It is located just off Randolph Avenue between Carlton Vale and Elgin Avenue. The area covered by the park has "Conservation Area" status. It was selected in 1995 by the LEU as a non-statutory Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC).[1][3]: 8
