Aberdare Park, Municipal park in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales.
Aberdare Park is a Victorian-era park with landscaped gardens, a boating lake, and tennis courts spread across 48 acres. Walking paths wind through mature woodland and connect the various recreational areas within the grounds.
The park was designed by William H. C. Pritchard in 1881 and designated as Grade II listed, reflecting Victorian ideals of public recreation. Its layout and features have remained largely faithful to the original design principles.
The bandstand and pavilion remain active venues where locals gather for outdoor concerts and community festivals throughout the year.
The site has parking, restrooms, and a cafe overlooking the lake for refreshments. Picnic areas are scattered throughout, making it easy to spend a full day on the grounds.
The park features dedicated bowls greens where visitors can observe or play a traditional lawn bowling sport popular in Wales. These facilities remain actively used by local enthusiasts and clubs.
