Oakhill Country Park
One of the most attractive features of Capitol Park, Goole, is the adjacent 100-acre Oakhill Country Park and nature reserve.
This recreational haven, rich in wildlife and natural beauty, lies between the Goole-Leeds railway line and the River Ouse to the south of the site.
Developers Sterling Capitol is working closely with the Friends of Oakhill to ensure the habitat of protected species is enhanced in this nature reserve.
Martin Croxen, chief executive of Sterling Capitol, commented: "The sensitive monitoring of this splendid area of natural beauty will be a major priority as we develop out the site. We are extremely lucky to have such a wildlife haven on our doorstep."
Sterling Capitol will be working in conjunction with the local community to ensure that the benefits of the country park are widely accessible.

The Return of the Goole Vole is a capitol idea
A colony of fifty water voles, which have been looked after in Devon for the
past 18 months, have been released back into their original habitat at
Oakhill Country Park, next to Capitol Park, Goole.
Capitol Park owners Sterling Capitol moved the voles to Devon on advice from
ecologists to ensure their safety with a view to relocating them in a
suitable habitat at a later date.
