Playing chess for free in two Hull parks could strengthen social ties, Hull City Council says.
By Andrew Barton & Joe GerrardPearson Park and East Park will each host anew four-seat chess table, after the council received £5,000 of government levelling up funding.
The parks, which sit on opposite sides of the city, were chosen so that people in both sides of Hull would be able to get to them.Mr Haines, the council's communities portfolio holder, said the chess equipment would help make Hull's parks "even more popular with visitors". The scheme follows a request by the government for councils to look at new ways of strengthening social ties and to tackle loneliness by encouraging people to come together.said funding for the project was set to be handed out between now and February.
Trustees, friends groups and local residents were due to be consulted before final plans were made for the location of the tables within the parks, they added."Our parks are extremely popular with residents and visitors alike and adding further attractions such as chess facilities will only help increase footfall and socialising.""We have run Play Chess Festivals for the past three summers and we know from experience how playing chess in parks really works," they added.
