Good news, splash pool Is now open

We don't really need reminding what a fab place the park is for our dogs, but as it's International Dogs Day here's a reminder of the fun we had at Bushey Fun Dog Show.

It's absolutely lovely in the park. Come down for an ice cream or two, have a go on the bouncy castle or just chill in the shade !

THURSDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE: The splash park is now open again. THURSDAY MORNING: Closed, but the engineer is on the way. Hopefully it will open later. TUESDAY MORNING: Great news splash pool is open today. MONDAY MORNING UPDATE: Sorry but the splash part won’t be open today. SUNDAY LUNCHTIME UPDATE: Work is now going on, but the splash park will definitely not be open today. SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE: No work appears to be going on at the splash park, so we are sorry to say that we don't think it will be open today. If we hear anything to the contrary we will update here. SATURDAY EVENING UPDATE: Despite contacting two people in the Parks department and maintenance contractors, John O'Conner's, we have had no further news as to whether the problem has been fixed. We will update you again in the morning. SATURDAY MORNING: Unfortunately the splash park is not open today due to a technical issue and we are not sure when it will re-open. We have spoken to John O'Conner's and It is being worked on.

Perfect funfair weather in the park. Don't miss out as the funfair closes Sunday evening.

The splash park is open everyday from 10-5. At peak times it may be time-restricted. If you're taking your car and have to park in the street, please remember that emergency vehicles and buses have to pass.

It’s going to be a scorcher in the park today, but the kids can chill off in the splash pool. Lots of shade for a picnic, too.

Today, Friends of King George Secretary, Maria Parker and Chair, Christina Staple collected our prestigious Green Flag Award from Scheme Manager, Paul Todd. The event - hosted this year by Stevenage Borough Council - was all the more rewarding because it was the 21st consecutive year for the park, making it the record holder for Hertsmere.

King George has retained its Green Flag for the 21st year, making it the champion amongst all Hertsmere's parks. The prestigious award, given annually, is the mark of a quality park or open space. Maintained by groundsmen John O'Conner's, the park could not continue its award-winning run without all the work put in by the Friends of King George who run events, financially contribute to schemes and handle most of the communications. In addition they deal with a lot of day to day matters by reporting maintenance issues and anything from the splash park to lost property !
