Rejected petition to help kids and teens play football in Paddington recreation ground
Paddington recreation ground is a park in the middle of Westminster a home for lots of disadvantaged children , teens and adults
More details
Paddington Recreation Ground has changed a lot over the years. It feels like they have forgotten about the kids who live locally, as there are no longer any designated times for general public to play on the football pitches free of charge. I have noticed a big decline in sports activity of kids in recent years and I believe this can be partly attributed to the lack of free of charge facilities available locally. Raising this issue with park operators within the park itself has been ineffective thus far.
