Wild Thing, RE-OPENING IN PENARTH ROAD IN 2022. Follow Instagram @wildthingcardiff; Twitter @wildthingcdf; Facebook @wildthingcardiff Read feature article here
The Marl, Ferry
Road Large expanse of green, with a long history for local
sporting teams, including baseball and rugby going back more than
100 years. There are also all-weather sports pitches, as well as
the adjoining Channel View Leisure Centre. Despite the encroachment
of some waterside flat developments on its fringes, this is still
a popular and large open space. Served by bus 9
Sevenoaks Park, Virgil St/Sloper Road Also known
locally as "The Tan," after the long-gone tannery, this park is
also popular with football and baseball teams. The seven oaks give
its name and it is bordered too by the railway. There's now a legal
graffiti wall all along the railway side (a section is pictured
left), which has been colourfully painted over at annual graffiti
and hip-hop events. Served by buses 92 and 94
Grangemore Park, off Ferry Road/Cardiff Bay retail park. A little oasis of wild flowers and grass, with a panoramic view
of the city and the Bay from the top of the man-made hill. Hard
to believe this used to be an old landfill tip in the 1970s and '80s, where the only association
with nature was the clouds of seagulls which hovered over it. A
short walk from the retail park carpark to stone seats and industrial
sculpture at the top. Picnic area at the bottom and popular with
dog walkers. Opened in 2000, with a central feature at the top designed
with the help of Grangetown History Society. Artist Ian Randall,
whose Silent Links ironwork is the centrepiece said it is supposed
to reflect residents’ fears that Grangetown was being "nibbled at"
by overdevelopment but also that they wanted to re-state the area’s
strong identity – the sculpture’s links like the people were "firm
and interlocked with a sense of strength and unity." There is a
cycle/pedetrian path (Ely Trail) running alongside the River Ely,
the other side of the hill - one entrance starts between the scout
hall and the gas works and comes out by the fly-over into Dunleavy
Drive; another entrance is in Penarth Road (just before the river
bridge/entrance to the Pumping Station). There are a couple of riverside
picnic areas. Served by the No 9 bus.
