Rogerstone Welfare Ground

If you’re looking for a proper day out without driving miles, this Newport spot delivers more than you’d expect. There’s a basketball court, football field, and open grass for whoever just wants to run about — plus walking paths that take you round by the water, which the kids always love. The BBQ area is a nice touch if you want to make a proper afternoon of it, and there’s parking so you’re not circling streets. It’s the kind of place that gets used hard but still looks looked after, which says a lot. Toddlers through to older ones all find something here, and a cafe on-site means you’re not rationing snacks from your bag.
