Paddington Rec: Opening of the Environmental Area
.jpg)
Last Saturday saw the official opening of the new Environmental Area at Paddington Rec in a ceremony attended by the Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Duncan Sandys.
Tucked at the back of the park, near the car park entrance on Carlton Vale, the Environmental Area is an exciting new addition to the Rec and has been in gestation now for a number of months. Along with wild flowers and plants, the crowning glory of the area is a new set of ponds which, it is hoped, will become a haven for local animals, insects and pondlife.
It was a brilliant morning to see how many local people came down to watch the opening and to do a spot of fishing in the pond!
The pond will primarily be opened for local schools and children's groups to come and enjoy the wildlife - but do take a walk through to see the new hidden gem within the Rec!
