- History
These are two adjacent Edwardian public parks which have survived virtually intact. The Marquis of Bute's example in donating most of the land from the nearby Roath park led Lord Tredegar (who also donated a small area for Roath Park) to follow suit further down the valley for the establishment of these parks. They formed an attractive setting for the development of surrounding villa residences, which still remain.
