The King George's Field Charity Board is currently discussing fees and charges while approving park improvement grants.

The King George's Field Charity Board deferred a decision on fees and charges in March 2026, having previously reviewed them for the 2026/27 municipal year in January 2026. Tower Hamlets Council was also considering changes to Mile End Park fees for 2025/26 in November 2025. The Board also approved a grant agreement for park improvements in March 2026 and noted ongoing discussions about commercial property leases.

In August 2025, the Board approved an agreement with Fields in Trust for £265,000 to enhance sports facilities at Mile End Park and Stepney Green Park. A report to the Board in August 2025 also noted a rise in private hire bookings at Mile End Park, with income from these and commercial rents supporting the charity's maintenance of park land and amenities.
