Westway Sports and Fitness has won MyLocalPitch’s March ‘Outstanding London Sports Venue Award’.

Westway Trust is a charity dedicated to maximising the 23 acres of land below the Westway flyover for the benefit of locals, making it a great environment to keep active and play sport.

The sports centre was built in 1994 and extended in 2004 following an £8.5m grant from Sport England. Westway Trust is keen to develop the sports facilities further, which also form an integral part of the health and wellbeing programmes it supports.

There are a wide range of sports for Londoners to enjoy that include football, tennis, squash, netball, cricket, table tennis, wallball and fives. For those wanting more activity based sports there is a climbing wall and functional fitness studio alongside a gym for strength and conditioning.

The centre has seen several people who started at a school event or party session take up a sport and eventually compete internationally. Recently Westway Trust added three new climbing walls to their extensive indoor centre and they also host a range of high profile events from national climbing competitions to schools’ tennis festivals and football tournaments.
This award, which is determined by MyLocalPitch users, was based on pitch quality, venue amenities and customer experience.

MyLocalPitch is a platform for sports players who want to find and book sports venues in London. Users have the choice of over 1,000 venues for 16 featured sports.

Jamie Foale, Co-Founder of MyLocalPitch, explained the award: “Westway Sports and Fitness is an iconic venue sitting under one of London’s urban landmarks. It provides wonderful facilities and opportunities which benefit the local community. The huge selection of activities on offer makes it one of the very best venues in London and our award recognises the hard work undertaken by the entire team.”

Nick Parkin, General Manager at Westway Sports and Fitness said: “We are delighted to receive this award, particularly as this is voted for by our customers.  We strive to provide a top quality environment and service for all those who visit us.

“As a charity our role is to improve the health and wellbeing of the community through encouraging people to be more active and enabling healthier behaviours and this vote of confidence in our facilities is fantastic.”
