East Park and Harrogate Flower Show

East Park the People's Park.
We rediscovered East Park in Hull, we had forgotten how big it is and how many different things there are to do.
It is a Grade II listed park situated in 130 acres. There is so much to do, a great playground and water area for the kids, although the water park is much better in the summer!!
There is a lake where you can pedal around on giant swans, but it also has a Wickstead Splash boat which is also listed and built in 1929, a nice bit of retro entertainment.
It has a mini animal farm with some cute Pygmy goats and loads of stunning peacocks. For the more sporting there is also an organised 5k run every Saturday.
Come out this weekend and rediscover some of East Yorkshire fantastic parks.For more flowers then Harrogate Autumn Flower Show is well worth a visit. More details on http://www.flowershow.org.uk/
