Ynysangharad War Memorial Park

Excellent afternoon out, the lido pool is heated, but woild advise to try and go on a sunny day. There's a huge park to walk around and great for kids to play. There's changing rooms and showers around it. Cafe as well. We'll be back!

I visited for the Eisteddfod genedlaethol. The park had obviously been decorated especially for the occasion, but I can imagine the place to be great when the Eisteddfod is not there! The war memorial monument is lovely, and there's a sunken garden and bandstand too.

We went to the Lido pool with my family. Experience was amazing. We bought tickets with activities for family of 5 and cost us only under £20. Kids enjoyed the water inflatables activities for 1hr and 15 minutes. Theres a cafe next to it and a big play area where the kids can play after the swim.

A lovely park to walk around, beautiful flowers, cafe, a brilliant park for the kids. We love it here!

Lovely Sunday in the sun with the family.
I poked my head into the Welsh Labour stand to argue with the representatives there about what they are doing to Wales 😂

The century-old jewel of Ponty with its impressively-restored 'The National Lido of Wales' with its multiple, outdoor heated pools, a huge 'adventure playground', cafe, tennis courts, football pitch, well-kept cricket pitch, historic bandstand, flowerbeds, and acres of leafy and open spaces with riverside walks.
Often holds events and attractions too such as fun days, fairs, parades and concerts.

Extended hours in summer is appreciated.
No parking on-site, but multiple car parks aren't far. The town's bus and train stations are also a short walk away.
Can be accessed via Park View / Bridge St (NE), the bridge by Gatto Lounge (NW), the bridge opposite EE/Natwest (SW) and via the Treforest part of the Taff Trail which runs to and through it (SE).

I absolutely love this park in Pontypridd! It's a beautiful oasis in the heart of the town. The greenery is well-maintained, and it's a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a picnic with friends and family.This park is a gem! The kids' playground is fantastic, and my children have a blast every time we visit. It's clean, safe, and a great place for families to spend quality time together.The scenery in this park is breathtaking. The river flowing through it adds a serene touch, and there are plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the view. It's a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.I visit this park regularly to exercise, and it's an excellent place for a workout. The walking trails are well-maintained, and there's a variety of outdoor fitness equipment. It's a wonderful space for staying active.The community events held in this park are fantastic! From outdoor concerts to food festivals, there's always something happening. It's a vibrant hub for local culture and entertainment.I can't praise the cleanliness of this park enough. The staff does a remarkable job of keeping it tidy. It's a place where you can relax without worrying about litter or mess.The historical aspects of this park are fascinating. It's a great place to learn about the town's history while enjoying the natural surroundings. The informational plaques are a nice touch.This park has a little bit of everything for everyone. Whether you want to play sports, have a quiet picnic, or simply take a peaceful walk, it offers something for every park.

Went there with the family for the Eisteddfod - excellent Maes, good facilities and well planned out. Having an Eisteddfod with a lido is a big plus.

This has to be one of the finest parks in Wales. Over 150,000 people visited here during the National Eisteddfod week, many highlighting what a superb venue for such an event. Located right in the town centre the park is an asset to be justly proud of.

Beautiful park for all ages. There's a good size playground for kids and a cafe nearby to grab some food & some ice-cream. There's many other activities to do like go for a swim in the new pool or play cricket, basketball or a game of tennis,there's also a lovely little band stand and many beautiful area's to sit and have a picnic and enjoy the peacefulness of the park. 😊

Attended this park for the first time when the National Eistedfodd was held there. It is like the tardis and has a lot to offer. Being close to the town it's great to explore while you have a picnic and make use of the fantastic lido. Lovely bandstand but it's a shame that the council do not make use of this and attract more people to the park.

Lovely park. The park is dog friendly and is a beautiful place to go and visit. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting here. The park has a wide range of facilities including the Lido (once allowed to open), restrooms, a children's play area, wide open spaces for picnics etc, a river and sports facilities.

Love our local park...just off the main town center street...has an open air swimming pool, cricket pitch, football ground, bandstand, children’s play area, tennis courts, basketball court, 5 a side soccer pitch, sunken gardens, monument to the Falklands War & War memorial, public toilets, oodles of picnic areas and a monument to the composers of the Welsh National anthem.

A really lovely park for the kids to explore. Lovely play park for the children and a perfect spot for a picnic. With the Lido just around the corner it's the perfect place to make a day of it!

Awesome park- really big, clean, and with great facilities. Huge play park, with loads to do, nice lido, gardens and tennis courts, and basketball courts too. Also a nice cafe and toilets. A really great day out!

What a beautiful Park loads to do with the children. The childrens playarea is fantastic. There's an out door pool which opens during summer months which is fab. The gardens surrounding it are well maintained, just the thing for a family picnic. There's tennis courts bowls a golf course and much more. There is also a cafe and toilets. The river runs along side and the shops are nearby if you fancy a bit of retail therapy. Go and have a look you'll have a lovely day

Beautiful park with pool, children's play area, small golf section and lovely riverside walks. Has a kiosk for snacks but this is seasonal, a beautiful bandstand and a cricket ground hidden at the back. The park is a perfect place to visit with kids in summer and a very pleasant place to take a sandwich for lunch, take the small bridge direct from the town centre. Beautiful.

A great place to visit, whatever the time of year, to sit and ppl watch or watch the wildlife along the river bank. The colours of autumn are just stunning, a place I highly recommend.

This as always been a lovely place to go either with your young children or your dogs or on your own, there is so much to do here the only thing stopping you is you,there are some toilets here not the best but they are free, there's playground for your children there's a cafe on site to, the outdoor pool is opened back up but check their website for prices and opening times, they've put in loads more tables so grab a picnic and enjoy yourselves, very easy to find, as its a 2 min walk over 1 of 2 bridges from the town, its very easy to get around in even with a wheelchair or with a pushchair, plenty of open spaces so you can just sit or lay on the grass, plenty of paths to walk to

Amazing place to take the kids or go for a walk
