Cwmdonkin Park (Parc Cwmdoncyn) is a beautiful park situated in The Uplands area of Swansea. Established in 1874, it has provided space for local residents and visitors to enjoy nature and its leisure facilities for over 150 years.
Directions: Travel out of the city centre on Walter Road, turn right onto Glanmor Road Uplands and take the first right into Park Drive. Postcode SA2 0PP.
See the Swansea Council website for information on accessibility.
The park is owned and managed by Swansea Council and supported by a strong community group Friends of Cwmdonkin Park (FoCP). The group is a not-for-profit community organisation open to anyone who has an interest in the park. Their vision is to make sure that as many people as possible are able to enjoy the park – whether for play, relaxation, or community events.
FoCP organise or facilitate free events for the community. Regular annual events include an Easter Egg Hunt; a summer fun day; a Halloween event; and a Christmas event.
FoCP rely entirely on donations, fund-raising activities or grants to enable them to put on events in the park.
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the park in 2024, FoCP were able to put on these events and additional events thanks to funding from The National Lottery. They were very grateful for that support that enabled them to engage with thousands of local residents in our anniversary year.
