Lovely place to visit. Playground with Seaview allowing for the kids to play and enjoy their time while we enjoy the beautiful sea. Plenty of restaurants and cafes available in the area, amazing variety and quality. Toilets are very close to the playground. Plenty of car parks in the area makes so you don't worry about this. We live nearby so we go pretty often, always there's something new to try and see.

Lovely park. Ideal for little children as it is enclosed. Plenty of space with picnic tables to eat in the open air. Within a stone's throw of yallops chip shop (best chips in mumbles) and the Gower seafood hut when it is open.

This is always a pleasant place to stop on the walk along the sea front. Situated between Prezo and Verdi's it offers some shade, benches, nice planting, mini golf, a children's play area and ready access to eat in or take out dining. There are some rough and ready public loos. There is paid and (if you are very lucky) free on road parking. The area is kept clean and tidy. The children's play area is well fenced in, with modern play equipment and only one gate in and out. Because of the busy road a careful eye must be kept on any child who may be tempted to climb over the fence. The road doesn't really detract from the pleasantness of the area as seating is situated generally on the sea-side allowing the noise to diminish. It's always busy and well loved by locals and visitors alike. Dog owners: please keep your dog on a lead, and pick up after it. Keep Swansea nice for everyone.

A nice little walk through between Verdi's and where we parked our car. Crazy golf available in the summer, pretty lights to see, on the centre tree in the winter.
