Paddington Recreation Ground achieves Excellent Quest Assessment

Paddington Recreation Ground has been recognised with an Excellent Quest Assessment, celebrating the high standards and quality of the park and the team who help keep it a welcoming place for the community.

PRG Quest Certificate 2026

The achievement is a fantastic recognition of the ongoing work to make Paddington Recreation Ground a place where people can enjoy being active, spending time outdoors and connecting with their local community.

Quest is a national quality assessment framework for the management and delivery of parks and green spaces. Achieving an Excellent assessment reflects the commitment to providing a high-quality environment and positive experience for everyone who uses the park.

This recognition is also a reflection of the hard work of our Leisure Contractor, Everyone Active and the whole team involved in looking after the park and delivering activities and services for the community.

Congratulations to the Paddington Recreation Ground team on this well-deserved achievement!

Help protect Westminster’s parks and green spaces during the hot weather

Help protect Westminster's parks and green spaces during the hot weather

With hot, dry weather increasing the risk of grass fires, ActiveWestminster is reminding everyone to take extra care when visiting any parks and green spaces across Westminster, including Sayers Croft (London and Surrey locations).

LFB working on putting down a fire.

Even a small spark can quickly spread through dry grass and vegetation, putting people, wildlife, buildings and outdoor spaces at risk.

If you’re spending time outdoors, please help keep our parks and facilities safe by:

  • Do not light BBQs, campfires or any open flames in parks or outdoor spaces.
  • Dispose of cigarettes and matches safely, ensuring they are completely extinguished.
  • Take your litter home if bins are full, particularly glass bottles, which can contribute to fire risk.
  • Never leave disposable BBQs or hot coals behind.
  • If you see a fire, move to a safe place and call 999 immediately.

By taking a few simple precautions, everyone can help protect Westminster’s parks, outdoor facilities and green spaces, ensuring they remain safe for everyone to enjoy throughout the summer.
