Really impressed with the new provisions at the kiosk. The coffee and cakes were delicious, home made cakes and locally sourced coffee and ice-cream. Very pleasant service also made our afternoon even more enjoyable - just what Cwmdonkin Park needed!

My previous visit to this famous park was en route to the Dylan Thomas Birthplace and, unbeknownst to me, it was undergoing restoration at the time. It was also winter. So, it seemed simply cold and muddy to me, and I hurried through no noticing it. On Saturday, however, I was booked to read some poetry at the Green Fuse event, organised by the Friends of Cwmdonkin Park, and the makeover the park had undergone since my first visit (late 2011) was nothing short of miraculous. Such a beautiful, abundantly green, tree- and flower-filled space! It truly is one of the most delightful and disarmingly lovely parks I have ever been to. The Green Fuse event itself was much bigger than I had anticipated, with several stages, various play areas for kids, a range of covered tents containing stalls by local artisans and sellers of various foods/wares, and so much more besides. It was also very sunny, with only very odd overcast moments, the atmosphere was very jovial, the music was excellent, and the spoken word well-suited to the spirit of Dylan Thomas that I'm sure would've been pleased to see such a well-run and much-enjoyed festival taking place on one of his favourite patches of earth. A marvellous day!!! Oh, and I also had a delicious ice-cream from Joe's, in the park and highly recommended!! :-)

It's a pity this park, like so many in Swansea, seem to be a dog walker's haven, although having said this it was nice to see parents with children using the play equipment and they outnumbered the dog walkers on this occasion. It is a pretty park and nice to be able to have a pleasant stroll not too far from the Uplands shopping area.

Since the Dylan Thomas recreation the park it perfection. The only negative is that the water gardens allow dogs to get inside the water area but not able to get back out.

I often stop by the park when visiting family in the area. Its great for a nice walk with a dog or by yourself Areas that are hidden away at the back are quite and around the children's play noisier. Meaning it is good for families.

I have fallen in love with this park, which is strange as I hardly bothered going there as a child. I take my daughter there every weekend. We spend time in the play area and then walking around the steep hills looking at the squirrels in the trees and flowers.
We finish off with a coffee and an ice cream in the wonderful pavilion cafe.
The only thing that could improve the park is a larger play area for the children.

I have known about Cwmdonkin Park forever - have visited the adjacent home of Dylan Thomas and have been to Swansea countless times, but this month for the first time I went with family to Cwmdonkin Park. It was a complete joy to find it in such excellent shape - the gardens and paths very well maintained - people enjoying the free tennis and a simply superb cafe. The cafe stands out for the quality of the coffee - the homemade cakes and the warm welcome by the proprietor. She even put on a LP of Richard Burton reading the Hunchback in the Park - is that customer service or what? This splendid park is a credit to the City of Swansea and to all those who are responsible for it.
