Just discovered this lovely old park where Dylan Thomas played as a child. It's only February and all the trees are bare but the park looks charming and must look beautiful in May. There is a small brook, a playground, tennis court and plenty of benches to sit on. Coffee shop is sweet and old fashioned with a range of snacks and drinks. Smiling people walking their dogs but not overcrowded. Loved it and will come more often.
Lovely park very well maintained with several areas in it; some good for kids, some good to escape the crowds and just enjoy being out doors. Parking not always so easy but an absolutely lovely park when the weather is good. The visit this time was a pleasant stroll with very few people around (the weather was pretty wild). The place is very hilly but it has got interesting plants and, naturally, a lot of information about Dylan Thomas and other notables who lived around this area.
A great historic civic facility. Lovely mature trees and well kept foot paths in a beautifully balanced landscape. The café at the heart of the park has great coffee, and the tennis courts were in use on the day of our visit... On today's visit we had a flat white and a vegan sausage roll from the cafe. Perfect break for a dog walk... Went down to the park today to check out the table tennis table. Our bats and balls arrived today...
Nice for a walk if you're in or near Uplands. Also has 3 good tennis courts plus one with a rough but playable surface. They look like they're free. Has a mini basketball court with no hoop (sadly), a table tennis table, zip line and kids play area plus a slide. There's also a nice cafe in the hut in the middle. A great park
Beautiful park and well maintained, but if you are walking from Swansea city, beware, it's a steep climb! Various references to Dylan Thomas and a memorial stone with words from "Fern Hill". Lots of old trees, woodland and a few water features. Well laid out walk ways and ample benches and picnic tables. Facilities include a bowling green, tennis courts, basketball net, children's play area and zip wire. Well worth a visit 😃
