🛝We found this gem of a park at the weekend Paddington Recreation Ground in Maida Vale, it’s 27 acres is the largest parkland in Westminster.
⚽️ Included within the Recreation Ground are 🎾 tennis courts, a 400m athletics track, two artificial turf pitches, a “water-based” hockey pitch, a bowling green, 🏏cricket nets, 🛝children’s play areas, 🎶a bandstand, 🧺picnic areas, 🐞an environmental area and🌷several gardens. 🏋️ The health fitness centre is operated by everyone active - tip you can currently download a free day pass from their website.
So much to explore and the kids play park was great, lots of climbing apparatus, trampoline, zip wire and speedy slides!!
☕️The park also has a café that sells drinks, food and ice cream. 🍦
🚝 So easy to get to, we got the train to Marylebone and then 4 stops on the h ground to Maida Vale.
There are lots of lovely local pubs in the area for drink not spot of lunch too.
