Park Information

The park contains many facilities including a 250m2 splash pad, large play area, challenging play equipment for teenagers, multi sports court, kickaround goals, tennis courts, table tennis tables, outdoor fitness equipment, sculptures, meadow with copse, open grassland, a cafe and free car parking.

A wide events programme continues, including the annual dog show, marathon, teddy bears’ picnic and family fun days. Regular activities are held with charities and local community groups.

The Friends of King George Recreation Ground have represented residents and park users and acted as a conduit between them and the council since 1997.  The Friends have been successful in raising funds for several projects including a unique and beautiful wrought iron circular seat around an old oak tree, commissioned from a local artist-blacksmith.

The park is also a designated ‘destination’ site for inclusive play.
