Enjoy free outdoor recreation across 22 acres with playgrounds, sports facilities, tennis courts, and The Pavilion Cafe for families of all ages.

King George Recreation Ground is a historic 22-acre public park in Bushey, originally opened in 1912 as one of the area's first major public recreation projects. The park has evolved significantly over the decades, with major improvements completed in 1998 that transformed it into a modern family destination. Families can enjoy extensive facilities including a dedicated children's play area with excellent equipment, a paddling pool rebuilt to modern standards, a sandpit for toddlers, and football goals with rebound panels. The park features two county-standard tennis courts that serve as a centre of excellence, a bowling green, and various sports pitches. Walking paths throughout the grounds connect different areas, with a Thursday health walk starting point offering guided walks. The venue is particularly suitable for families with young children, thanks to pushchair-friendly facilities and amenities designed for ages 0+. The Pavilion Cafe provides refreshments for visitors. Additional attractions include outdoor art installations, such as the 'Flexible Family' sculpture, and sites of historical interest including concentric rings of unknown archaeological significance. The park's mature tree-lined avenues and open green spaces create a welcoming environment for outdoor exercise and recreation.

Why bother setting up a website and not updating it with upcoming events. Smacks of a ticking book exercise. Use your tools or don’t bother at all. Park is fine, dogs are badly controlled by sloppy owners.

It was alright. Splash zone fun, kids loved the park, nice open space. However parking extremely limited and accessible down a residential road full of double parked vehicle and cafe prices awful - £3.50 for a soft serve ice cream in a cone.

This is a beautiful park with lots of space and a cafe. Great for evening walks and a good place to watch the sun go down through the trees. It's a lovely inclusive space. Lots of friendly local people. I love Bushey.

A huge park that has walking trails, a paddling pool, play area with some unique play structures including a short zip-line for kids. There is cafe to grab a cup of coffee or some ice cream which are ideal for this scorching weather. The park wasn’t clean because there were 💩 on many areas.
