History

Steeped in local history, the park has the honour of being Swansea's first informal then formal park. Dating back to 1872 it is of national interest through its Grade II listing by Cadw's Register of Parks and Gardens of Historic Interest. At a local level the park developed alongside the early growth of Swansea for which its reservoir supplied domestic water, and was an important part of the active life of the city residents for whom the park has always been a special place. The recent awarding of the Heritage Lottery grant has enabled the park to be lovingly restored to its former glory.
