Cwm Farm Play Area

Tucked into the Cwm Farm site, this one’s a solid local pick that doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves. The split layout is genuinely useful — younger kids have their own space without getting steamrolled by the older ones, which makes a real difference. Views from here are proper Cardiff countryside, the kind that reminds you how quickly the city gives way to open land. It’s kept in good nick too, which isn’t something you can say about every park in the area.
