Nice park! It's big, it's relaxing, nice to walk around, the parking is annoying, because there aren't many parking spaces, but apart from that, it's a nice, spacious park.
This is a lovely park situated not too far from Heath Hospita to spend time to relax and get some fresh air. Always a nice place to visit to chill out on a sunny day . And since the last time I visited, I've also discovered that Brodies Coffee has now opened up a place up there, which makes it an even better place to visit after chilling out!
Big park considering it is in a city. It has different sections open grassland, woodland and a few small ponds. This park has had more investment than my local parks. There are also playgrounds, tennis courts and a mini railway. They look to be opening a Brodie's coffee in the hut there, which is good as there aren't many coffee or food options without leaving the park otherwise. That will also have toilets (unsure if they will be for customers only). There are a few different car parks, which is good as it spreads visitors out a bit. The car park I go to is also free for the first 2 hours which is rare in Cardiff now - providing you enter your registration details.
Only a quick visit. Got a bit busy, as expected during these times, but manageable. A great climbing frame for the older 6+ kids and a smaller one for the toddlers. A lovely pond and wooded area to walk around and explore. Also a big football pitch/grass and golfing area. Plenty of space to run around and let off some steam.
Didn't want to drive so got there by bus. Not difficult to go but still a track to the park. Kids playground, tennis courts and green if you'd like a picnic. A kiosk there selling drinks and lollies. But please DO NOT use the toilet there. Can walk further up for miniature train ride. But it was far too busy we went the weekend before school holiday week. Paid £1.80@ to go in the "train station" area and was surprised to find out we still need to pay £1.80@ every mini train ride! Thought the entrance fee would mean train rides! Love the train model there and guess that money goes into the fund to keep the area going, but appreciate a free ride if it requires entrance fee. Thanks for the volunteers/staff who run the place anyway.
