When all Hull's paddling pools are open for summer

One of Hull's most popular paddling pools will reopen later.

The East Park splash pad had been closed for refurbishment but is now ready to open on weekends and throughout the summer holidays.

A long-awaited new splash pad at Pickering Park will also open in time for the school break, Hull City Council said.

Here is when all the paddling pools and splash pads will be open in Hull this summer.

East Park: The newly refurbished splash pad will be open on weekends and daily from 18 July to 6 September. The splash boat will also be open during weekends and the school holidays. The Grade II-listed water ride opened in 1929 and is one of only three left in the UK.

Pickering Park: The Pickering Park paddling pool has been closed since 2023 and is undergoing a £550,000 redevelopment, which has been delayed. Last month the pump house was vandalised, but the council says it will be ready to reopen on 18 July. It will close again on 6 September.

Albert Avenue lido: The outdoor pool underwent a £10.5m rebuild in 2023 and includes a heated lido and children's splash pad. The lido is open daily until September, with sessions available for booking online.

Alderman Kneeshaw, Bude and West parks: The paddling pools here are already open on weekends. They will open daily during the holidays from 18 July to 6 September, between 10:00 and 17:00 BST.

Ings Road and Oak Road parks: Paddling pools here will open daily during the holidays from 18 July to 6 September, between 10:00 and 17:00.
