Residents have backed a refurbishment for the King George’s splashpark, in a consultation on major improvements for the park.
Hertsmere council now intend to renew the facility by next summer, including replacing the ageing pump equipment which has made the splashpark so unreliable in recent years.
The consultation also sought park users’ views on other proposals to improve King George’s.
Respondents supported a revamp of the play area, new adult exercise equipment, and upgrades for the multi-sports court.
But there were mixed views on where to site the new cafe, and the council will consult further.
The aim is to complete the full package of works by early 2026. Funding of at least £590,000 has already been agreed.
Maxie Allen, Lib Dem councillor for Bushey Park, said:
“These plans will take our beloved park into a new era, and securing a reliable splashpark is the crucial first step”.
Chris Myers, Labour councillor and portfolio holder for parks and leisure, commented:
“Thanks to the many hundreds of residents who took part in the consultation. The feedback will help us deliver the improvements people want, in the way they want”.
