Unfortunately some of the NSC sessions at Queen’s Park Gardens have been put on pause until further notice. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope to have them up and running very soon.
For full details please refer to the NSC Timetable on our dedicated page, and take a look at all the other great sessions we have on offer.
With the exception of some minor planting and pathway repairs the works have been essentially completed. However, due to the earlier heavy rain, followed by the cold frosty period which was followed again by heavy rain, the new planting is in a fragile state. In order to give the plants every chance to thrive we have decided to postpone the opening of the area until mid-February.
* Please note that all dates are inclusive and weather dependant.
Please visit our dedicated page for Paddington Recreation Ground Improvements to find out the status of each of the works.

The goal of this project is renovate the space to improve safety and install a more inclusive design with systems and components that will allow children from all walks of life with varying abilities to play together in a rich and engaging way. No child should be left out.
As always your views matter. We see this project as a co-design and want to know what you think will improve the playground for maximum usage of an outdoor space whilst providing an inclusive and accessible play area.
In the meantime please take the survey.
