Active Play

Being active doesn't just begin as a teenager or adult, its an important part of every child’s life and aids social, emotional, intellectual and physical development. Benefits of play include improving physical well-being, social development, building confidence and allow for children and young people to learn about their local community.

The easiest way to do this is by being outdoors and using one the play areas in Hull's parks and open spaces. Hull has over 80 play areas across it’s parks and green spaces meaning there is plenty of opportunity for younger children to play outdoors. Children over six years old should be doing 60 minutes of physical activity a day so play areas in parks and green spaces are a great way for them to enjoy physical activity.

Outside of the play areas Hull’s parks have a number of great walking routes, skate parks, basketball courts, outdoor gyms, nature areas and more for you to discover and enjoy with your family.

So why not head to the park with your family to move more and get Hull active!
