Boating Lake

Found this Fabulous Park while heading home from Cwmbran Centre about 3 years ago. I did a review then but it seems to have vanished! We've returned several times since as a walk around the lake with one of the best soft ice creams we've ever had! With dog in tow it makes our 30min journey there very worthwhile! We're glad it's not closer to home as we probably wouldn't appreciate it as much!

Lots of little adventures for the children to have a go at under supervision, there are on-site facilities toilet, at a small cafe parking is available. When the weather is nice it can get a little full but there is a lot of space to spread into a nice place for a visit we will be returning.

Lovely lake and park with a caffe in the middle. Easy parking with trails in and around the lake. The recently refurbished trail to the south east of the lake makes it so much easier to get around with pushchairs and alike. A frequent visit for us with our two children.

This park is a great facility for all. There is an incredible shortage of such facilities in Cwmbran which is an enormous social problem. We arrived at 09.10 and parking was plentiful, at 11.10 we left and the car park was overflowing.
The toilets were clean, some bins around the park were overflowing which created litter.
The lake is beautiful and well managed, you can easily walk around it, it's also wheelchair and pushchair friendly.
The cafe area is very scruffy, dirty and had weeds all around it, if an operator is allowed the contract they shouldn't abuse it and the whole area needs weed treatment and it needs to be thoroughly deep cleaned. It didn't open on time but the staff are friendly.
Definitely worth visiting.

Really nice place to visit, skate park, play area, small cafe for ice cresms, a really lovely river and woodland walk. Torfean council it would be nice if you did a litter pick along the river lots of rubbish in and along the river areas.

Great space, tons of it!! You can make a good 30 minute walk around the playing field and lake with plenty to see along the way and a good size kids play park in there for good measure

The boating lake has to be my favourite local place .. we are so lucky to have this wonderful place to visit, its well kept, there is a cafe and toilets here..a lovely childrens playground, with slides, swings, zip line. etc it is also dog friendly....With plenty of free parking ... best of all just to sit and watch the birds, especially the swans is so relaxing.... there are lots of benches around the lake too so you wont be disappointed.

Lovely family walk around the boating lake. Plenty to do with the children. Nice park and areas for riding bikes and going on skateboards
