The Most Beautiful Parks And Gardens In Swansea Wales

The city is full of glorious green spaces, whether you fancy lakes, flowers, great views or some fun and games. Here are our top picks.

Singleton Botanical Gardens

Bridge, Park, Shop

Singleton Park is a riot of colour right in the heart of the city. There’s so much to see that you could easily while away several hours here. The gardens are home to a huge plant collection, with cacti in the Desert House, rainforest-dwelling plants in the Tropical House and the many varieties in the vibrant herbaceous borders. Admire the Japanese bridge, pick up a plant at the plant shop or just sit on a bench and relax. If you’re taking children with you, entertain them with a pedalo boat ride on the lake, a trip to the play area or even a game of crazy golf.

Cwmdonkin Park

Park

A beautiful and small inner city park which has enjoyed a recent regeneration. If you’re a fan of Dylan Thomas you’ll enjoy looking for the references to him dotted about. Thomas grew up nearby, at 5 Cwmdonkin Drive, and the park is mentioned in several of Thomas’ works.

Parc Llewelyn

This is a well-cared-for and large park in the east of the city with a games area, space to have a game of football and fantastic views over the valley. The site also features a play area, tennis courts, flower beds and a variety of birds, attracted by the bird feeding stations.
