£7m revamp for Hull’s West Park
Hull City Council and Hull regeneration agency Gateway have unveiled £7m plans for transforming West Park.
The money, which would be invested over the next five to six years, would go towards reviving the park’s “original Victoria splendour, but with a dramatic, contemporary twist”.
The proposals include a new entrance from Anlaby Road, lighting displays designed to interact with park users, public artworks and sculptures, a new paddling lake with an island, a new bandstand, a skatepark and climbing wall, improvements to the existing miniature railway and bowling club and new play facilities for children.
Laura Carr, interim chief executive at Gateway, said: “The proposed changes for West Park are very exciting and represent a major part of the work being carried out to revitalise the whole of the area.
“By restoring the park to its former glory we hope to provide not only a focal point for the local community, but also create a sub-regional attraction that brings visitors in from the local area and further afield.”
The work on the park is expected to begin in early 2010.
