    Very peaceful (visited it in the morning) green, urban community park with fantastic views over Swansea Bay and beyond. The local community have and still are working hard to maintain the woodlands, shrubs, ponds and garden space to create an important diverse habitat for wildlife and plants. There is a lovely picnic area with tables and they have just added an outdoor table tennis table. There are no toilets and you'll need to come prepared with your own picnic food / drink. To fully explore the park be prepared to climb steps. It's a beautiful quiet sanctuary to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

    Great place even better if the council reopened the big BMX track we used as kids.

    Beautiful, quiet and green. Nice spot for picnics at the bottom and a short but steep climb up a stepped path to one of the best views of Swansea and the bay.

    A nice park near the centre that is good to escape to. Always seems relatively clean, and has beautiful views of the bay. However make sure you're prepared for all the steps!

    Very steep hill and seems to be quite with no people around, I only heard animals sound. The stairs was rusty and slippy without clear signs, you can get a good view of Swansea from above if you like photography!

    Great place to walk around that rewards you with epic views of Swansea city. The park offers a pond that's in desperate need of attention and a few park benches to rest after climbing up the mountain side. It's worth having a look but go with a friend as this area is a little off grid.
