Clydach Vale Playground

The upgrade they did here made a real difference — the equipment is noticeably newer and better than a lot of what you’ll find in the Valleys. It’s fully fenced, which if you’ve got a runner like mine, you’ll appreciate more than anything else. Good fit for the younger ones, roughly toddler up to about seven or eight before they start getting bored. There’s a basketball hoop too, so older siblings aren’t just standing around waiting. The pond nearby is a nice bonus for a longer walk after the kids have burnt off some energy.
