Paddington Recreation Ground achieves Excellent Quest Assessment

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!
