The Orchard Park Estate is on the northern eastern fringe of the western part Kingston upon Hull adjacent to the city boundary.

Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire is one mile (1.6 km) directly to the west; the North Hull Estate (Greenwood Avenue) is contiguous adjacent to the south; the eastern boundary is formed by the Beverley and Barmston Drain, beyond which is more housing, and the River Hull (0.5 mi (0.8 km)); to the north is open farmland.

[4] Population at the 2001 and 2011 censuses was around 4,600, with the inhabitants being mainly white families (over 90%), predominately working class.

[24][25] In the mid to late 2000s the council demolished parts of the estate at Feldane, Gildane, Hardane, and Isledane; reducing he housing density by approximately half, with some of the freed space converted to public space.

[28][29][map 16] In 2008, Hull City Council approved a bid for Private Finance Initiative (PFI) funding to redevelop the estate; this was approved by Housing Minister John Healey in July 2009, with an allocation of £156 million.

[31] In mid 2012 the council decided to refurbish two of the flats (Gorthorpe, and Kinthorpe) due to demand for housing, and demolish the others.

[38][39] The structure of Holy Name church was incorporated into a care home facility in the early 2010s.

[53] In May 2014 the council decided to demolish the Gorthorpe and Kinthorpe flats which had previously been spared demolition and were planned to be refurbished.

[58] Demolition of the Gorthorpe flats was delayed due to previous contractual arrangements to provide a site for mobile phone masts.

[59] In mid 2016 a new location for the phone masts was found (St Michael and All Angel Church) allowing demolition of the tower block.

[60] As significant redevelopment was taking place in the 2010s the city council investigated the viability of installing district heating into properties in the area – a report by Ramboll published 2014 concluded such as scheme (costing £29.6 million) would not be commercially viable, with a low rate of return of 2.7%.

[61] In 2015 planning permission was granted for 178 new homes in the Danepark area, on a site including the former Milldane tower block.

[63]) In 2016 Wilmott Dixon was awarded a multi-million contract to improve energy efficiency of Hull City Council's housing stock, with measures including the installation of external insulation – 1,668 houses in Orchard Park were to be treated, with work scheduled to start March 2016.
