The £7 million scheme to transform King George’s Playing Fields in Brentwood, began in January 2021 and forms part of the council’s 10-year Leisure Strategy.

The project centrepiece is an impressive new pavilion which includes new changing rooms, toilet and showers for local rugby and football teams, a golf clubhouse and Golf Pro Shop, as well as a bar with a terrace.

Other facilities include a flexible, multi-purpose room, a Changing Places facility, a café, a two-storey soft play facility, TAGactive arena and a sensory room.

Supplementing the indoor provision are external facilities including an adventure play area, splash pad, Changing Places facility, new toilets and a kiosk.

The project was delivered by Alliance Leisure via the UK Leisure Framework, and moving forwards, the site will be operated by Everyone Active on behalf of the Brentwood Borough Council.
