I didn’t know this park existed, but I’m glad I found it. It takes you away from the noise of the city. Lots of trees, flowers, birds. And a unique viewpoint here from what you might normally see casually driving around Swansea.

Lovely park and play area for kids. Some steep hills though if you have mobility issues, but plenty of flat areas too. The dog loved it

Beautiful place, litter free and all the other dog walkers I bumped into had their dogs under control as per park rules, something I was worried about with my reactive dog . Plenty of space to spread out and such a lovely way to spend a sunny winter morning with my pup 🖤

This place is awesome! The park itself isn't much to shout about but there's loads of green space, trees, views, lovely walks. Had a great time there today 😊 Sorry. Pics don't do it justice. Was kinda a muggy day

Lovely park, loads to explore, views from top of the hill to the boardwalk leading into the woods. Younger children's playground as well as older kids obstacle course around picnic tables for the parents. Not specific parking but look around and you can find a space a couple of minutes away
