Choose Green Streets and apply for a Street Play Session

On Sunday 22nd September we want to reduce the number of cars on the road by encouraging residents and the local community to apply for a Street Play session.

What is Street Play?

Street Play offers a one-off road closure allowing children and families to play in streets at specified times, on specified days and in specified locations. 

Closing streets to cars can have a significant impact on our health and the environment 

  • Higher levels of physical activity 
  • Healthier and happier children and communties
  • Reduced air pollution
  • Reduced noise pollution
  • Increased road safety

Apply before the 16th of August and we’ll fast track your Street Play application in time for World Car FREE Day on the 22nd of September – it’s a win win!

Celebrating Love Parks – Enjoy Westminster Parks and Green Spaces

by

Celebrating Love Parks 2024

Make the Most our Parks and Open Spaces!

Love Parks week is an annual campaign from KeepBritainTidy.org celebrating parks, green spaces, and the dedicated volunteers and workers that look after them all year round. This year, Love Parks week runs from 26 July – 4 August.

Green spaces play a vital role in boosting the health and wellbeing of residents and communities. From providing spaces for communities to come together, socialise, play and engage in group activities and events, to allowing some time for solo activities like walking, and reading to decompress, enjoy nature and get away from the grind of day to day life, they are truly versatile.

Westminster has over 80 parks and open spaces (30 of which have Green Flag status), so plenty to choose from if you are a resident, study, or work in the area. You can find out more on our dedicated Parks and Open webpage.

Make the most of it – read, walk, exercise, relax, meet a friend, play or simply enjoy nature.

Grosvenor Estate Outdoor Gym Launch

Grosvenor Estate Outdoor Gym Launched Successfully

Grosvenor Estate Outdoor Gym launched to encourage physical activity in local area

We pleased to share that the outdoor gym at Grosvenor Estate launched on Saturday 27th July! Thanks to all of you that joined us on the day.

It was exciting to see the positive reaction from people in the local community. Our goal is to make sure physical activity and or the means to exercise and stay active is available to people from all walks of life. Not only does this have a positive impact on health by reducing the risk of developing several diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, it also improves the general quality of life. 

As part of this project an unused playground has now been transformed into a fully functioning outdoor gym, featuring six new pieces of fitness equipment. We had one of our Everyone Active instructors on hand to guide people on how best to use it, alongside the Public Health Team. 

 

If you live locally or just feel like working out somewhere make sure you drop by and check it out: Grosvenor Estate, Between Schomberg and Tothill Houses, SW1P 4BH
