What's happening at the park
The park is currently undergoing a £12 million project to improve:
- visitor facilities
- historic features
- landscaping and parking
Temporary facilities
The work will take about a year to complete. During this period, there will be interruptions that may affect your visit.
To continue welcoming visitors, we will introduce temporary:
- catering and toilet facilities
- routes for the Parkrun event on Saturdays
- paths to enjoy a circular route around the park’s picturesque lake
What's new
The work at the park will see:
- the demolition of the current ageing visitor centre
- a fully accessible two storey visitor centre with a modern café
- stunning south facing balcony views across the lake
- event, meeting and conference facilities
- dedicated children’s soft play space
- new woodland adventure playground
- holiday accommodation sleeping 6 people at the pond cottage
- consolidation and repair works to the Gnoll House ruins
- restoration work on the park’s spectacular and historic cascades
- information and interpretation signs across the site
- extensions to recreation and walking routes via a new bridge
- the park linked with Brynau Farm, a wildlife haven of 57 hectares of Woodland Trust land
Funding
The project is funded by the UK Government through the Vale of Neath Heritage Corridor project.
