About Westcotes Park
Westcotes Park is a small neighbourhood park in the Westcotes district of Leicester, a densely populated inner-city area just off Narborough Road. The park is bounded by residential streets including Braunstone Avenue, Winchester Avenue, Canterbury Terrace and Imperial Avenue, and is managed by Leicester City Council. It falls within the Braunstone Park and Rowley Fields ward. For a compact urban green space it packs in a lot of value for local families: there is a children's play area alongside open grass for picnics and games, with footpaths winding between mature trees that give the park a leafy, tranquil feel in the heart of a busy part of the city. It is a popular spot for walking and a convenient outdoor space for the surrounding terraced streets. As a council-run park it is free to enter and open to the public throughout the year. Westcotes Park should not be confused with the separate Westcotes Gardens nearby on Upperton Road.
