This is a great and wonderful place with lots of recreational, historic and fun filled activities for people of all ages including children and adults alike.
Very nice large public park in east Hull, off Holderness Road.
The library in the cafe was open and always open with lots of educational and resourceful books there. Friendly staff with conducive environments. There were beautiful water fountains in front and back of the cafe with reasonable priced wonderful food and drinks in the cafes; available public toilets facilities were also there. A very nice place of relaxation.
There were lots of free events and activities to enjoy especially for kids ranging from playgrounds, gymnastics, relaxing areas, land events like football fields, and other sports, etc., together with the wonderful animal rescue area(zoos) where you can see parrots, wallaby, llama, goats, peacocks, guinea pigs and various other animals.
There were also lots of paid events and activities which were readily available; though, little bits on high side for the price (£3 per token per person per ride). You can get discount if you buy 8 tokens for £21 or 12 tokens for £30. All tickets purchases from the office there. You can use those tokens for train rides, bouncing castles, swans pedalo’s rides, colourful beautiful carousel rides, etc. There is also live horse riding racing for £3 each ride and an amazing boat splashes rides for £2 each ride.
The fishing lakes were also located in the arena for fishing activities if it interest you.
There were lots of free crafting activities and animals education going on at the animal education centre located in the park between 10:30am to 2pm Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays this summer. Great experience.
There were lots of free parking spaces in and around the park with most prominent via Woodford sports centre carpark.
The playground has lots of most modern and fantastic play equipment for children which spread across children of all ages, eg. climbing frames, swings, etc. There were always something to do in the playground and environs. In fact, my kids loved the park.
The train will take you round the park where you see lots of lovely scenery in the park. You can also walk around yourself and explore the entire area. The bridge viewing point and cave pathway were also amazing 🤩.
You can walk your dogs around the park. Some places, you can free your dogs; some other places, you must put them on leashes and lastly, some restricted areas for dogs like playgrounds.
There were wheelchair entrances and wheelchair accessibility areas all around the park including wheelchair accessible roundabouts, large seated swings, and accessible changing and toilet facilities for wheelchair users.

The squirrels were very tamed and friendly. They can feed out of your palm if you have some monkey nuts with you.
The lake and aviary area were beautiful with lots of amazing and wonderful...
Read moreEast Park before the Global Reset used to be a great place to pull in and park up for munchies and take the kids to the model boating lake with their RC boats, Cars and kites etc but now motorists are hearded into a Paddock like cattle it's taken away the ease of use! Too many Don'ts and not enough Do's unless you want to throw money around! No more Motorboats, No more Rowing Boats giving full access to the Big Lake, No More Rock Climbing etc etc etc East Park used to be a Place for Natural Adventure, Danger and Wild Fun with Death Slides, Heavy Iron Play grounds that would guarantee a Fat Lip, Black eye or Chipped Tooth! My children may enjoy it when they become a Geriatric and just sit about gazing at flowers and butterflies reminiscing of the days wasted Stalking folk on Fakebook or making fools out of themselves on fiktok??? Eeeey those where the Days Aye🤔
Ok so the Gates are now open-ish! Still not the same, not as it was Originally Intended, I mean a ton of Cash was Blown to Restore the Park not so long ago so why doesn't it Not have all the amenities it had when first Opened??? A bit like Restoring a Rolls Royce and fitting a Reliant Robin Engine Aye, Kinda Misses the Point of Restoration!!! Give Back Full Access to the Public and Step up the Pooh Patrol coz the amount of Dog Poop and Urine is a...

There is a lovely cafe with very reasonably priced food and drink too and ample parking spaces in and around the park. This place is great to take the kids with woodland areas to explore and a huge fun play area too. There's a large field area where they can play, it's always nice to take a picnic to enjoy and dogs are also welcome. This place is also very accessible for wheelchair users, something that has become an important part of our planned days out in the past year. Everywhere has safe ramps, including onto the land train so that can be enjoyed too. There is an accessible roundabout in the play area for wheelchairs to be placed on and a large seated swing to provide support to those that need it. There is also a changing places accessible toilet here for wheelchair users. I highly...
