I have been travelling for a few years, so I haven’t visited this park for quite some time. I would come here often as a child, 30 years ago. The park hasn’t changed much during this time. It is a timeless, serene experience looking out over the lake. So calm and peaceful. There are many Swans and other types of birds in the water. And if you walk along the path, you might see some Robin birds. Part of the wall is being reconstructed, but most of it still stands since the Victorian era.

A great place to take the kids, modern play park and zip wire. Once you are done at the play park the walk around the lake to feed the ducks is a great distraction to pull the kids away from the park :) Also you can stop off part the way around the lake at the kiosk for some snacks and a coffee.

Brynmill Park is a charming and well-maintained public park, perfect for families, couples, and individuals looking for a peaceful retreat. The park features beautifully landscaped gardens, open green spaces, and a picturesque lake, making it a great spot for picnics, leisurely walks, or simply relaxing in nature. There is a good range of amenities, including a children's playground that and plenty of benches throughout the park. The lake attracts a variety of wildlife, including ducks and swans.

The park is located almost in the centre of Swansea. It has newly built children play area which is very safe for the kids. The park has a huge lake in the centre, with lots of swans, ducks and seagulls. The park is maintained very well with lots of seating arrangements. The grass is also maintained very well. It has got multiple entry from all the sides. You will see lots of kids playing during their vacation and also a lot of families come for a small get-together. It also has a store which offer tea coffee, ice creams, soft drinks, croissants, and many more things. It also has the toilet facilities in the park, it is nice and clean. You will surely breathe a nice and clean air and will also enjoy the walk. Overall it’s a good place to spend time alone or with your family. You will really enjoy your time in the park. Recommend for all age group.

Brynmill Park is an absolutely beautiful location and a Must-Visit park in my eyes! Where to even begin with Brynmill Park. An absolutely gorgeous park that makes the walk to university feel just that little bit better every single day. The park itself is completely dog friendly, with hundreds of dogs walking through every single day, and many seating options available for if you just need 5 minutes to take it all in. What if you need a drink? Don’t worry, the amazing staff at the Vendor on-site at Brynmill Park have you sorted. With ice cream, hot beverages and food options, there’s not much more you can ask for! Not to mention the availability of duck feed for 50p! Continuing from duck feed, the staff and owners are gracious carers of some resident Mute Swans who are a must-see on their own! Not to mention also that there are Cormorants, Black-Headed gulls and Moorhens resident too! And of course the ducks. Overall, if there was an option for 6/5 it would belong to Brynmill Park, its staff, and the owners. Thank you to everyone involved for keeping such a beautiful piece of land in such well condition, and keeping the wildlife not only present, but thriving and encouraging the community to do the same. See you again soon, Brynmill!
