The 30 Best Park in Cardiff

“We have used Park Vets for the past 25+ years and always found them excellent. Over the last nine months our dog Harry who was 15 under went an operation on his neck. It was a great success and he bounced out of it, with a new lease of life. Sadly he was taken ill in July and it was decided he would have teeth out. Following tests it was found he was a very poorly boy. We made the sad decision for him to be put to sleep. Through all of this the practise were excellent, in particular Michaela made this sad process easier to bear. All staff were so lovely and supportive. I would recommend them to everyone.”

“Lovely vets, made my little girl feel so comfortable she gets excited to go now! Update: I got my dog spayed here, and I cannot thank the lovely lady who discharged her enough. When dropping her off in the morning, she explained everything I needed to know. When I picked her up she went through everything, answered all the questions I had, and didn’t make me feel silly for being emotional. My little dog is my whole world, and after some previous dogs of mine had bad experiences with the vets they went to I was very nervous about this process. The staff here are wonderful, and I wouldn’t dream of taking her anywhere else. Thank you all for looking after my little Gwenllian ♥️”

“Four adults and a four year old. We've just returned from a fantastic weeks stay at Riverside. Yes, there were a couple of negatives, and no, we didn't raise them at the time as we managed to combat them, and they didn't distract from the really good time we had. The caravan we stayed in was a six birth. Whilst there were ample cutlery, crockery & and glassware, we felt that the pans provided were of poor quality and inadequate. There was only one shelf in the oven. We expected that there should be two. And lastly (and it's the same issue at virtually every other holiday let We've stayed ), the knives in the knife block were all blunt. (The wife's tongue is sharper). May have as well used a hatchet. Apart from those minor issues, the caravan was clean and tidy. The site was well laid out and well maintained. All the staff were helpful and friendly and went about their duties diligently. We only used the restaurant a couple of times. I'm not a fan of carveries myself. However, I have to admit that the one we had at Riverside was really enjoyable. We also sampled the "build your own pizza." Outstanding. It's probably the best pizzas we've had. Pleasantly surprised at the prices at the bar too. It's more than reasonable. Well stocked with a wide choice of drinks. Apparently, we visited during the last week of low season and were informed that most of the week it would be quiet and entertainment would mainly consist of bingo, quizzes and karaoke. The best would be done to involve any children (of which there were very few). Lee, did an excellent job keeping us entertained. The bingo and quizzes were made really entertaining, and the children always came away "winning" and ice cream despite not even playing. For the number of people that were there most evenings, the prizes were very good. To summarize a very clean site offering friendly value for money service and amenities.”

“Ideal location just staying off the M4. Yes you can hear the noisy traffic but its not disturbed our sleep - the heavy rain did more damage to that ( and some dogs barking!!) Amazing family bathroom - with shower, bath and toilet all in one room for young families only. Everything is clean tidy, level gravel pitch. Very friendly staff. We have enjoyed our stay here with out 3 young children. So much room to go off on our bikes, play park etc.”

“Blessed that this stretch is on my daily running route. Wonderful views with skies ranging from neon blues to dramatic greys across the year”

“Really beautiful park. Suitable for all ages. Perfect for a day out. The water playground is big and is ideal for summer. Facilities like chaging rooms and toilets are available. Plenty of parking available. Drone shot of the park :D”

“Beautiful park, well kept by volunteers Clean and tidy Beautiful gardens Tabletop sale weather permitting Mon/Wed/Thursday 9 - 2-15, raising funds for thr park. Fish pond, unfortunately, is broken. It has a leak, and under investigation by the council The cafe has closed down. Friendly squirrels Toilets closed down”

“A beautifully typical victorian park, tended regularly for some fabulous floral borders, they hold an array of events and the bowling green is very popular.”

“Really nice little park. Has a lot for toddlers to play on which was nice. The steps to the slides are nice and safe for little ones. It's a small park but well laid out. Has a small cafe and toilets too”

“Lots of Space that's what I can say”

“Over the years I have stayed at many hotels, each usually with their own restaurant, few are good, some mediocre and many are poor. Out of all the hotels I've stayed at I'm happy to say that the Chefs at this restaurant are why I return and why I'd say it's somewhere within my personal top 3 hotel restaurants I've dined at. The food is always genuinely excellent, a particular favourite is the scotch egg with pea puree and bacon jam... a good reason in itself to return! The pork belly with fennel, cabbage, potato gratin and sage stuffing is another excellent dish, each element is clearly treated with care and skill which absolutely shows in the finished product. Thank you to the chef for making another night away from home a little more tolerable by way of excellent cookery.”

“Always good value, helpful staff”

“Lovely coffee shop a short stroll from UHW. Small selection of sweet & savoury things to try. Lemon drizzle cake was deliciously moist & tangy. Good coffee & pleasant service. More seating outside than in for dry days.”

“I came here for some food and the atmosphere was lovely. Max was amazing to talk to and treated me so kindly. Lots of friendly people here, definitely a place to stop off if you're in need of some good food!”

“Great pub, good range of drinks on offer and great prices. Staff always efficient and friendly!”

“Stayed here for 3 night from the 28th of July 2025, was made welcome from a lovely guy called CHRIS who assigned us room 103. I've stayed in many 5* hotels in America, Asia and Europe, and although this was a budget hotel CHRIS was by far the best front of house staff we ever encountered. Throughout our stay CHRIS was so helpful for any information we required and couldn't help us enough. We came as guests and left as friends. Thanks CHRIS.”

“Excellent venue, great atmosphere and lovely bar service. Even has an upstairs view with seats which was amazing. Can't wait to see another show again.”

“Lovely staff! I wanted to know what food and accessories where best for my animals and they was very informative! 10/10 Would definetly shop here again”

“Ground set in lovely settings. Hot and cold snacks on offer during matches. The most entertaining rugby team in the Championship play here. Definitely worth a visit on match days.”

“I popped here with my 4yo girls to take advantage of a rare sunny afternoon. The girls were thoroughly entertained for 2.5hours and could have lasted longer if I’d let them! The new double zip line was a hit, as was the splash pad but I think they enjoyed the general sense of freedom I was able to allow them in a safe enclosed environment. (although the park was very quiet when we visited) The staff were really welcoming and friendly. They even encouraged me to bring a picnic or fish and chips next time to make a real day of it - such a good idea! At £3 per child (adults free) to come and go as you please all day I think it’s an absolute steal! Top tip: wear a wetsuit and water shoes so kids can easily swap between play park and splash park. Also if there’s a wind it can be a bit chilly in the water!”

“Amazing little park, perfect to walk your puppy and go on a walk with friends. Clean and looked after, and safe for people and dogs. Our puppies had a lovely time there.”

“Good spot for a walk, takes about 20 minutes to orbit the pond. Path is properly surfaced, broad and step free. Best part - the flower meadow near the car park, see photos (mid-September).”

“The panoramic views from the top of the hill are breathtaking, especially at sunset. It's a bit of a climb, but completely worth it. A popular spot for photographers and couples. Very romantic”

“A lovely, and gentle, river walk that can make up part of the longer Rhymney River Walk”

“Good for young person every Tuesday they have ALN sessions so yes i recommend everyone go and enjoy.”

“Food and drinks at Stable today, I forget how great this place is. Firstly booked for 6 but ended up being 8 which was accommodated with no fuss. Pizza's were insane. The best selection of ciders and beers. Staff amazing too. Great, straightforward, no fuss, good value, delicious food, great service. Just what we all needed after Cardiff Half.”

“We went here as we was totally depressed walking towards The New Theatre with the many chain restaurant options. No thanks. We food this little gem right at the end just across the road from the theatre. Very warm welcome sat down straight away to a table for two. Busy, lively and fun. Service was excellent, fast and attentive. Food was quick to come out but not rushed. Cracking food all round. I personally felt the starters was a bit pricey but was delicious so... Would definitely go again. Clean and tidy through out quick to take plates or empty bottles etc. Excellent meal all round.”

“Food was lovely. I had the breaded chicken breast with fries, coleslaw, and egg. My mum had a full english breakfast. Didn't like the capers on top though I think it kinda ruined the meal but It's my own fault for forgetting to ask to remove them. Full english breakfast was lovely. They take blue light card which is great if you want a decent discount. It took a very long time for staff to take our order and bring the bill, it was busy though. I'd recommend if its not busy and if you have a blue light card as the price would be worth it for the discount. Suitable for people with food allergies and had no issues with that.”

“Great products. Great prices. Great staff.”
