Hull Pitches Reopen Potential After £2m Redevelopment
1 Oct
Summary
- A £2m redevelopment aims to reopen Hull's West Park sports pitches.
- The Tigers Trust plans include a new community sports campus.
- Work could begin in early 2027, with a two-year completion target.
A £2 million redevelopment project is set to revitalize sports facilities in Hull's West Park. These outdoor pitches, closed since the Covid-19 pandemic, may soon reopen thanks to plans by the Tigers Trust. The charity intends to refurbish and extend its arena, establishing a new community sports campus.
This significant scheme will also serve as a permanent base for the growth of girls' football, aligning with recent Emerging Talent Centre accreditation. Chief Executive Karina Ellis highlighted that reopening the pitches will enhance participation opportunities for children, young people, and adults.
Further proposals include a new building with changing facilities, a two-storey extension to the existing arena, multi-use studio space, teaching rooms, a Hull City heritage area, and a potential nursery. Landscaping improvements are also planned for an overgrown parkland area. If approved by Hull City Council, work on the outdoor pitches could commence in early 2027, with the entire project expected to be completed over two years.
