Families will be able to enjoy all of Hull’s waterplay facilities this school summer holidays, with both East Park splash pad and Pickering Park paddling pool to reopen this month. Both have undergone extensive refurbishment to ensure their long-term viability and provide additional free, safe and accessible waterplay facilities for all in Hull.
East Park splash pad will be open from today (Saturday, July 11) and will remain open on weekends and throughout the school summer holidays until Sunday, September 6. Pickering Park paddling pool will be open from Saturday, July 18, in line with other paddling pools across the city, and will also remain open until September 6.
Cllr Charles Quinn, portfolio holder for parks at Hull City Council, said: “The council is fully aware that our parks and their waterplay facilities are at the heart of our communities, particularly in the summer months. Therefore, we are delighted to share that all of the city’s waterplay facilities will be open in time for the summer holidays, providing further free, safe and exciting activities – a really fun, family day out.
“We would like to thank everyone for their patience while East Park splash pad and Pickering Park paddling pool underwent refurbishment and we are sure they will be enjoyed by everyone for many years to come.” Splash pads at Alderman Kneeshaw, Bude and West Parks remain open on weekends and until September 6, from 10am to 5pm.
Paddling pools at Oak Road, Ings Road and West Park will also be open throughout the holidays. East Park’s splash boat also remains operational during the school holidays.
