Directions to the start →

Seventy-five acres of open grass, fishing lake and rough grassland squeezed between Beresford Avenue and the western bank of the River Hull, and the largest single space in north Hull where a dog can properly stretch out. This is Hull City Council land, so the East Riding dog control orders do not apply here; the council allows dogs everywhere on the site except the fenced play areas. The route runs north up the flood-bank path beside the tidal river, past the fishing lake and the skate park, then loops back across the pitches on the Oak Road side. The river is tidal, deep and steep-sided with no easy way out, and the marked sports pitches are in use most weekends from September.

THE SMALL PRINTHull City Council's page for Oak Road Playing Fields states: "Only assistance dogs are welcome in the play areas." No other part of the site is closed to dogs and there is no lead requirement. Hull City Council has no dog control Public Spaces Protection Order; the city's only PSPO deals with begging, loitering and street drinking. Fouling is enforced under separate powers.
