About Noddle Hill Nature Reserve
Noddle Hill Nature Reserve is a free green space on the Bransholme side of north-east Hull, on Noddle Hill Way, and is managed by Hull City Council. It combines a tranquil nature reserve with family facilities, so alongside the wildlife and walking routes there is a children's play area with a variety of equipment, including swings, a supernova spinner and an activity centre. The play area and sports pitches are reached from Noddle Hill Way, while the nature reserve and its scenic fishing lake are accessed separately from Bransholme Road. The fishing lake, which requires a booking, is a focal point of the reserve and a quiet spot away from the busier city-centre parks. Football pitches on the site are available to hire through the council. For families the appeal is the mix of a decent playground with genuinely natural surroundings, making it a good choice for combining a play session with a walk to spot wildlife. Only assistance dogs are welcome in the play areas, though the wider reserve and its paths are popular with local walkers. It is a lower-key alternative to Hull's large staffed parks, with a calmer, more rural feel.
