Does anyone else think it is criminal that the little ge of a park has been wasted or was it inevitable with the amount of HMO's that have overrun Brynmill?
I used to love that place as a kid. |  |

It was plagued by gays when I lived nearby as a student. Many an incident went unreported. |  | | |

Same goes for more or less every park in Swansea. They've all been allowed to go to seed. |  |

Is CwmDonkin a mess? I thought they'd cleaned it up, after dirty numbers written on the playground equipment were found. | | | |

I used to go there as a kid to feed the ducks, we used to take about half a loaf of bread with us which we could barely afford in those days, that day out made us so happy 😊 |  | | |

Cwmdonkin and Brynmill are nice parks. Others however have been left to go to rack and ruin. Dunvant is a prime example. Gates should be locked at night Parkies should be employed and a good team of gardeners should attend to the maintenance. It is just another example of penny pinching as a result of austerity and, whilst it is no great shakes in society as whole, it never the less takes away that little bit of feel good factor of life in general. |  |

It's pretty good to be honest. I too go back a very long way there. Back to the times Reg Bateman's boat was doing trips around the lake. La La the poor baboon I used to torment in its cage. Would have ripped my head off if it could have got out. Still have guilt about teasing the poor beast.
All the animals have gone now and the small lake which was used for toy motorised boats is now a conservation area. Still worth a trip though on a nice day. | |

Jeepers. I've been complaining about the lack of investment in the parks department on here for a long time. It seems I am the only one who thought the sowing of wild flower seeds on many verges was a cop out and done as a cheap way of providing much needed colour. Now it seems others have cottoned on to the fact that parks have been left to go to shit. |  |

I like wild flowers - especially on roundabouts. |  |

I think that verges and roundabouts are ok but I agree it is a cop out in our smaller Parks where we look for unusual and formal arrangements.
I dislike all the cuts on our public services such as, transport, drain clearance, tree and verge trimming, right of way maintenance, roads, public convenience etc etc. They save a small amount of money in these times of forced austerity but take away a massive feel good and personal pride factor. | |

I've always took my children there and loved it, in my days all kind of animals were kept there, I seem to recall the peacocks being a particular favourite and of course the ducks.
I remember seeing some kind of survey or something like it, the last time I was there. Unfortunately all my kids a grown up now so I haven't been there for quite a while, always good memories though. |  |

Used to go there all the time as a kid and recently I took my little one there. I was shocked at how poor the lake was - very few ducks and parts of the lake looked contaminated to hell. Obv some money went in not so long ago to have the toilets and seasonal shop. When I was in uni I'd walk through it everyday - the management of it has gone downhill obviously which is sad as I would have liked my kids to have seen it like I did. | | | |

I walk through Brynmill park regularly and it seems tidy enough to me. I never knew it in the old days, mind. It's still used by loads of families especially at weekends. They got quite a chunk of lottery money to do it up a bit and there's quite a bit of community involvement with open air carol service and fun days in the summer. |  |

Wow - blast from the past. It's been at least 26 years since I lived I Sketty. Have great memories of playing football at both Singleton and Cwmdonkin Park as a teenager (the latter we had a regular Sunday morning game that I fondly remember)
Troubled that I can't seem to remember Brynmill Park - was brought up on the streets of Sketty, Brynmill and Uplands.
Can someone spark my memory on Brynmill Park? |  |

Starting to get flashbacks of a park with a large lake - still can't place it though. Time for google maps... | |

It's a fairly small park, big lake in the middle with swans and ducks. Children's play area near one of the entrances. Some people think it's part of Singleton as that is so big and they are so close to each other. Brynmill lane runs invetween them.
I haven't been there for a couple of years but it seemed in fairly good nick last time I was there. Shame if it's gone to ruin. | | | |

When you consider how wonderful it once was, you could say it has gone to ruin. How many of us have childhood memories of throwing bread in to the lake, how many of us remember the mini zoo and the peacock? | |

I remember the parky, we used to wind him right up, there was always a mob of us playing footy and generally messing around, causing havoc.
great place to spend your youth! | | | |

Too young mate, though I have very hazy childhood memories of animals in Singleton Park, near where the Swiss Cottage is? I'm possibly mixing them up as I wouldn't have know the difference at the time. | | | |

Friends of Dunvant Park are doing well. New trees planted, wild flower areas, football for the kids and they now have use of the pavilion for tea coffees etc this summer. | | | |
