Rose Bowl reopens with a splash of summer colour

REVITALISED: The Rose Bowl

By Simon Bristow, Co-Editor

One of the most popular green spaces in the city centre has partially reopened to the public after an extensive refurbishment.

The Rose Bowl near Queens Gardens has been replanted and the crazy paving has been relaid, while the inner circle is now surrounded by high-quality granite, with blocks individually laid by hand in a radial pattern, echoing the existing Rose Bowl planter walls which have also been restored to their former glory.

Grassed sections surrounding the fountain have been refurbished and the summer planting is now in full colour, and new trees have also been added.

Within sight of the Maritime Museum, the Rose Bowl will form an attractive additional point of interest for residents and visitors when the museum and gardens are reopened as part of the transformational Hull Maritime project.

City council leader Mike Ross said: “The reopening of the Rose Bowl area marks another milestone in the continued enhancement of Hull city centre’s important green space.

“This restoration not only breathes new life into a much-loved local feature but also reaffirms our commitment to making Hull a vibrant and welcoming place for everyone.

“We’re delighted to see people return to enjoy the tranquillity and beauty of this area, and we hope it will continue to be a place for relaxation and enjoyment.”
