What is the source for the footpath from the Conway Gardens footbridge to Proyer's path? It is completely invisible on the ground, except for a PROW sign at the Conway Gardens side of the bridge, which doesn't show the route. As such it seems to fail the "on the ground" test to me.
Whilst this one is actually marked as grass, which might be a hint to a router to ignore it, although Grasshopper doesn't, I've just reported a similar problem to Google Maps, and I would have hoped for better from OSM. (Google even route cars trying to get to the social housing on Nightingale Avenue, to the Conway Gardens area, presumably because they think it is a nearer public road.)
I suspect there is a need for a public right of way that isn't actually a path.
Incidentally, the park gets very boggy along this route, in the Winter, and, in dry weather, the best route to the station, from Conway Gardens, is a straight line from the railway bridge.

Again, what is the source for this footpath. It is not visible on the ground (so would need trail_visibility setting). The PROW is only signed on the far side of the railway bridge and not at all at the Proyer's Path end. I'm not aware that Brent have released their definitive map.

I have walked the route many times. It is route that the majority of people who walk to/from the bridge use and it outside of the common pitch area. Yes, the western side before the paved path can be boggy in winter or after heavy rain.

The key point is that there is nothing on the ground (although just recently, some grass has been left long at the edges, and you can see the trampling, near the bridge). Also, the chances are that the path doesn't match the historic right of way.
However, in my experience, the most common weekday route from that bridge is the direct line to Northwick Park Station, with a lsoe second being the direct one to the back entrance to the hospital car park (which looks to be wrongly marked public).
At weekends the use of sports pitches can make the direct station routes problematic, and one either skirts round them to the East or does join Proyer's Path a lot further South.
Weekend users may be heading for the pavilion, but I don't use it at that time, and I suspect they use a line across the rugby pitch
