HULL City Council has issued an update on the works ongoing on Queens Gardens in Hull city centre.
Queens Gardens has been undergoing a extensive refurbishment since 2022, in a project that is now expected to cost more than £21m.
With the project set to be complete in late 2025, the council has given Hull Live an update on the work that has been ongoing ahead of the gardens’ grand reopening in the coming months.
The Rose Bowl fountain
The Rose Bowl fountain at the eastern end of the gardens, across the road from the Maritime Museum, has undergone a full restoration. The work on the fountain has included repointing of surrounding walls, new paving, and the installation of a new filter system. The council has confirmed that a section of the Rose Bowl area and fountain is expected to reopen next month.
Refurbished ponds
The two large ponds in the gardens have received full refurbishments. Each of the ponds were drained, cleaned, and fitted with new filtrations and fountain systems. As a part of this process, thousands of fish were temporarily rehomed in aerated tanks and have now been safely returned to improved pond habitats.
