The Hartswood Pavilion was constructed as part of a multi-million pound redevelopment project to modernize local community sports facilities.
The park features a high-specification 18-hole mini-golf course inspired by classic putting green designs.
The site includes a 'splash pad' water play area that is specifically designed for summer seasonal use.
The playgrounds are built with sustainable materials and include accessible equipment designed for neurodivergent children and those with limited mobility.
The park is situated on land originally dedicated as a playing field following the death of King George V.
King George's Playing Fields in Brentwood is a major recreational hub featuring an extensive modern facility known as the Hartswood Pavilion. The site offers a professional-grade 18-hole mini-golf course designed for competitive play. Families can access a large, multi-zone adventure playground with inclusive equipment for varying age groups. The park includes large open grasslands suitable for sports and walking, alongside specific areas for water play and splash pads. The Hartswood Pavilion serves as a central community hub, providing indoor changing facilities, a cafe, and event spaces. The grounds are maintained by Everyone Active in partnership with the local council. The area underwent significant redevelopment in recent years to modernize its outdoor leisure infrastructure. It functions as the primary green space for the Warley area of Brentwood.

Bring a change of clothes and a towel, as the splash pad area will get children thoroughly soaked.
Check the Hartswood Pavilion cafe website before arriving to confirm if there are any private events booking out the indoor seating areas.
On busy weekend mornings, parking in the primary Hartswood Pavilion lot can reach capacity quickly.
Do not visit the splash pad area in autumn or winter as it is shut down for the season; avoid arriving during high-profile local football matches if you require parking near the pavilion.
Splash pad is open only during the spring and summer months; outdoor facilities remain open year-round while the pavilion has varying indoor access.
No dogs allowed within the fenced play areas; appropriate footwear required for mini-golf.
