East Park is brilliant for dogs but sometimes you want a change of scenery. Here are some alternatives that our two spaniels love.
Pickering Park in west Hull is underrated. Decent size, nice paths around the lake, and it's never as busy as East Park so your dog can actually run around without crashing into forty other dogs. The botanical garden section is lovely too.
Humber Bridge Country Park is amazing for dogs. Proper woodland walks, long enough to tire out even the most energetic dog, and the car park is free. Off lead through most of it as well.
Cottingham Parks. There are a few green spaces around Cottingham that are perfect for a quick walk if you're that side of Hull. Baynard Park and the playing fields near the village are both good.
For a longer adventure the Wolds are incredible for dog walking. The route from Goodmanham to Londesborough is about five miles of open countryside with hardly anyone else around. Heaven for dogs who love to explore.
Where do you take yours?
 
Pearson Park is great for smaller dogs because it's enclosed and not too big. Our little terrier loves it. For something different try the path along the River Hull from Beverley Road out towards Dunswell. It's flat, quiet, and runs alongside the river for about two miles. Most people don't know it's there. The dog loves the smells along the riverbank and we usually have the path to ourselves. Free parking at the Sculcoates Lane end.
 
Costello Playing Fields near Anlaby is our go to on weekday mornings. Big open space, rarely busy before nine, and the dog can sprint around like a lunatic without bothering anyone. At weekends we drive to Humber Bridge Country Park because the woodland walks are perfect for tiring the dog out. Twenty minutes of scrambling through trees and she's done for the day. Also the field behind Springhead Golf Course if you know where to find it. Unofficial dog walking spot but everyone uses it.
