The park is steeped in local history and was Swansea's first informal then formal park. Dating back to 1872, it is of national interest through its Grade II listing. The recent restoration has brought it back to its former glory, making it a peaceful and beautiful place for visitors.
The park has a playground, a basketball hoop, a lake with swans, ducks, and seagulls, a store offering food and drinks, clean restrooms, and picnic areas. It is dog-friendly and has a newly built children's play area with swings for all ages.
Visitors can feed the ducks, play in the playground, enjoy picnics on the grass, walk around the lake, and relax in the shade of mature trees. There are also opportunities for bird watching, strolling with dogs, and enjoying refreshments from the kiosk by the lake.
The park is well-maintained with clean restrooms, well-kept grass, multiple entry points, and plenty of seating arrangements. The recent upgrades to the children's play area and the overall restoration have enhanced the park's appeal and functionality.
The park's family-friendly atmosphere, safe play areas, clean facilities, and variety of activities make it a great place for families to spend quality time together. The park's central location, beautiful surroundings, and amenities cater to visitors of all ages.
