Taf Bargoed Community Park

A lovely spot for a walk along the banks of the lake and admire the trees and wildlife. One side of the lake has a tarmac path and is easily accessible for wheelchair users, cross the bridge and the path is made of gravel, easy to walk but might only be suitable for the most rugged wheelchair.
It is remarkable that in the early 90's this was a colliery.

Beautiful area, hard to by it was once a colliery site.

Beautiful area lovely for solo, family or dag walks 🥰

Great walk with the dog. Lovely swans, but keep clear because of little baby's.

One of many old colliery sites in South Wales that has been reborn as a country park. A place to enjoy a leisurely walk around the lakes or a starting point for a longer more strenuous hike in the surrounding hills.

Such a beautiful lake and nature reserve, to have it on our doorstep is just amazing. Dogs need to be on the lead mostly. Water sports activities and fishing available in season. Great for nature photography. Summit Climbing Centre with cafe and toilets a ten minute nature walk away, 2 by car. Free parking. Simple playpark close by, with toilets (not currently open). Pony trekking from time to time. Kindly funded by the European Union.

Top spot for a happy dog walk around the pond=] Plenty of parking in the mornings, even has a friendly kiosk selling beverages and snacks to the hungry. Never believe it used to be the site of Taff Merthyr colliery. You can extend your walk towards Bedlinog and the climbing centre if so inclined past the reed beds treating the water going into the lake. Enjoy=]

What a fabulous facility, the walk around the river is superb. The paths are well maintained, and the area is clean and tidy.
The wildlife is a sight to see, there's a wide variety of birds, many with young at the moment.
There are a couple of coffee shops, and plenty of free parking.
I should imagine this gets really busy when the sun's out, but at the moment it's just delightful.
