Paddington Recreation Ground is a park in Maida Vale, City of Westminster, just north of Paddington.

The grounds are noted as the earliest public athletic ground of its kind in London.[1] Still the largest area of parkland within the City of Westminster, it attracts users who visit the Grounds for its green-space value. The ground are recognised as a Site of Local Importance for nature conservation.

Included within the grounds are Tennis Courts, an Athletics track and Bowling greens. It has a full field of green grass around 100 metres (330 ft) long, on which are placed two football pitches. The park has a cafe which sells breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Westminster and other organisations undertook a major investment programme, which commenced in 2006 and are scheduled to take place over the next few years.[2]
