Westfield Park

Please note no barbecues are permitted in the park.

Located between Lots Road and Uverdale Road in Chelsea, Westfield Park is one of the borough’s newest parks, created in 1981 on top of a World War 2 bombsite.

Westfield Park consultation results

Following an initial consultation about potential improvements to Westfield Park last year, we launched a further consultation exercise in May to ask residents to comment on the ideas already fed back on improving Westfield Park and any other ideas they might like to see included.

The consultation ran for 6 weeks, and we received 113 responses to our consultation on what you’d like to see happen in the park. Most residents who responded are regular park users. 

What you told us

The key results were as follows:

• refurbishing the toilet facilities had over 80 per cent support
• new café facility had over 50 per cent supporting a permanent café and nearly 30 per cent supporting a temporary café
• changing the rose garden to a sensory garden was supported by less than 40 per cent of people and over 20 per cent wanted to keep it, with a further 35 per cent wanting to keep it with additional companion planting
• new park benches and accessible picnic tables was supported by over 70 per cent of people, with most people wanting them in the centre of the park, rather than overlooking homes
• preferred planting theme was fully supported by half of respondents, with 35 per cent of people wanting plants beneficial to wildlife and pollinators and 27 per cent seasonal bulbs
• a game top picnic table with chessboard was supported by 50 per cent of those who responded, with 36 per cent opposed
• a table tennis table was wanted by over half of people
• half of those who took part want an outdoor gym, but 40 per cent of people do not
• Nearly 80 per cent of people want improved lighting and a similar number want CCTV installed
• a drinking water fountain is wanted by over 80 per cent of people
