Summary
- Kingswood Park will receive a major upgrade to address persistent flooding issues.

A substantial upgrade is planned for Kingswood Park in Hull, specifically targeting the persistent flooding that frequently renders the play area unusable. The city council has announced that work will commence to address the water pooling issues, which have plagued the park on School Lane, especially after adverse weather conditions.
The planned improvements involve the removal of existing grass mats and protective pads beneath the play equipment. To further mitigate water retention, raised areas will be constructed around the play structures. These changes are designed to enhance the park's functionality and accessibility throughout the year.
This project is being financed through the council's dedicated Leader Fund. Council Leader Mike Ross expressed his enthusiasm, highlighting the importance of high-quality outdoor spaces for the thriving Kingswood community. He anticipates that the upgrades will provide local families with a safe and dependable play environment, benefiting residents once the work is completed.
